About the Book
DePietro is as well a painter, yet when it comes to depicting the wonders of a natural landscape, he opts for his camera; reserving brushes for a more inward trajectory of perceptions. Like that, the book is brimming with photographs; and for the most part they are taken during a one-year project, 2008-09.
Along the way, something more than arrived to the perceiver; along the pathways, notions started to interfere with the beauty and sublime found; the artist realized that Nature was suggesting something more in tune of Imaginal. So when the camera was shelved, and the brushes again took front stage, a new quality – one that united the two corridors of visual creativity – started to unfold.
Almost a decade has passed since the project ended; but the images have constantly been telling a deeper story; and the artist finally expands the once tiny showing of the images, by gathering more from the compendium and sharing them in a long overdue book to the subject: of Nature; and what hides in subjectivity within its presence…

About the Creator
Though permanently installed in Palenville since the mid-70s the author's works have been exhibited internationally since the seventies. Whereas the media employed is eclectic the subject matter is centered on the human event, be it from the realities of the space one walk in or ethereal to the realms of psyche or spirit...Predominantly an image-maker (painting and photography) over the last fifty years with an early affinity for the Hudson River School which unfolded into the more Modern concerns for abstraction in the mid-80s. Much of the imagery presented is of a 'Questioning' nature. And the newer platform of writing follows; hopefully in its Purposive Ambiguity the readers will have occasion to extend the exploration with their own.
