Re-Spirit is an intimate and emotive response to those moments in which nature makes her feel alive. Nature has the power to make all of us feel alive, because we are a part of nature. When we re-spire, Georgina believes we not only gratefully accept the oxygen nature provides us with, but we re-spirit our souls through our connection with her. Georgina hopes that these photos serve as a catalyst to encourage you to find your own connection with nature, and with what makes you feel alive.
