“Mel Alexenberg offers a scintillating experiment in creativity. His work is an invitation to deepen your spiritual sensibilities as you extend your imagination.” - Jan Phillips, author of God Is at Eye Level: Photography as a Healing Art
“One of art’s most complete and compelling integrations of
the sacred and profane. Mel Alexenberg
shows the way to the divine via digital imagery and heightened perception of
its presence in the moving face of every person, place, and thing. It reads like a swift and soulful breeze.” -

simple as photos taken with a smartphone, and multiplied in their resonance by
the Internet - can be a consciousness raising tool" - Peter Samis,
Associate Curator, Interpretation, San Francisco Museum of Modern Art
“Thinks brilliantly outside the box. It crisscrosses
disciplines, from science and technology to philosophy and mysticism to art as
both historical and creative phenomena. This is one of those books that other
thinkers will wish they had somehow thought about how to write, and to which
readers of diverse sorts will simply respond by saying: wow!” - Dr. Ori Z.
Soltes, author of Tradition and Transformation, Professorial Lecturer in
Theology and Fine Arts, Georgetown University
