The book joins together a selection of self-portraits spanning her life — black and white and color, traditional film and iPhone cameras—that mark her existence in time.Linda Troeller uses the camera like a tool to activate her own personal shamanistic ritual. A producer of self-portraiture her entire life, Troeller identifies the moment of making a photograph as one of deep realization, spiritual connection, and even transformation. Each self-image allows her a more complete understanding of her being.
