Description

Today's Glimmer is a full year - January to December - of my original photos and inspirations designed to make you smile, giggle or spark a positive memory.  Part photography, part education, all inspiration!  

This book was inspired by a post on Instagram talking about the difference between a trigger - something that stirs up anger or sadness - and glimmers - things that make you smile and are positive. You will find what you go looking for, so every day I go out with my camera looking for glimmers!

I started sharing those daily glimmers on my social media pages and soon my followers were looking forward to and even expecting them.  Putting a year's worth of them in an easy to carry volume allows you to take some with you where ever you go.

  • Having a bad day and need a little smile? Pop open the book to any page and find something that is funny or uplifting or, at least, a little educational.
  • Need a reason to get off social media and away from all the triggers?  Learn to turn that phone around a capture glimmers to share with our community instead. 
  • Want to connect God's word with the beauty he created in our world?  Add a glimmer to your daily devotional or prayer time. 
  • Know someone that's facing a lengthy recovery or devastating diagnosis? This book can be a roadmap of daily positive thoughts and images to help them through the tough times. 

Before you know it you'll be finding them on your own - all around you. When that happens, browse to the very back of the book for a little surprise. Working together we can brighten up days for everyone around us.

About The Author

Marina Pierce is a retired Air Force officer and engineer turned award winning nature photographer and author. Living on the shores of the Chesapeake Bay with her husband, Erik, and her photo buddy, Finley, has spawned her love of photography. Capturing the unique animals and habitats of this region and beyond is now her passion. She uses her photography to educate people in hopes of inspiring them to conserve this very special place for generations to come. Students in her phone photography and nature photography classes walk away with not only a better understanding of photography, but a better understanding of the world around them and how to use the camera to tell those stories.

Today's Glimmer is Marina's second book. Photo by the Bay, Volume I, Two Years on the Eastern Shore, contains 250 images from her first two years on the Eastern Shore of Virginia. Her new book goes beyond just the Eastern Shore to focus on images from as far away as the Galápagos Islands that make you smile.

Her works are part photography, part education and all inspiration.

Photography at it's best in a book I drove up from Norfolk VA to attend Marina's book signing. When I got there and took a look at the book I was blown away of the quality of the images and a very well laid out book. If you are reading this I encourage you to get a copy. You won't be disappointed. Read more
