I published this book as I was leaving Bali where I lived for 9 years. Over the years I had photographed many of Bali's beautiful daily offerings and it seemed a perfect opportunity to publish a book on them so that others could view them and learn about them - their making is an artform unique to Bali. My Offering is a photographic collection of around a hundred offerings - each one is accompanied by an inspirational quote by people from all walks of life. My book is My Offering back to some of Bali's neediest charities - 10% of my profits are donated to charities there. I hope you enjoy learning about the beautiful 'canang'. www.facebook.com/Myoffering
