Diego Ortiz Mugica, a renowned Argentinean photographer, captured these unforgettable moments that Br. David has called “images of the sacred.” The human experience in the midst of the pristine beauty of Patagonia has become a limited edition book of breathtaking photographs accompanied by Br. David’s moving quotes, in both Spanish and English.

Vivir Agradecidos released the book in Espacio Ensō, a Buenos Aires art gallery, with a photo exhibition during two weeks in late November 2014, the days of Thanksgiving.
