From the Publishers
“Taking a picture is savoring life intensely every
hundredth of a second.” —Marc Riboud
T
he coming year will be filled
with hopes and dreams, goals;
challenges; unexpected events and
circumstances; and all the while that we’re
going through the motions, acting upon
and reacting to life, the magic of living
moment by moment often escapes us.
This month Revue’s 10th Annual Photo
Issue is filled with images, captured by 85
photographers, that conjure inspiration,
contemplation, joy, sorrow, pleasure and
amusement.
In the coming year, may we all take time
to smell the flowers, to feed our souls and to
live a life filled with gratitude at the sights
and sounds of the golden moments in time.

What lies behind us and what
lies before us are tiny matters
compared to what lies within us.
—Henry Stanley Haskins
New Year’s eve is like every other night; there is no pause in the march of the universe,
no breathless moment of silence among created things that the passage of another
twelve months may be noted; and yet no man has quite the same thoughts this evening
that come with the coming of darkness on other nights. —Hamilton Wright Mabie
