Peace in the Paroxysm

"I tell myself that I am too sexy for my shirt, and this is how all the birds look at me," writes Joshua Pettit. Born and raised in Southern Utah, his battle with chronic pain led him to photograph some of the most beautiful landscapes in the world. Paired with musings that have helped him change his own attitude, these stunning photographs are intended to move and inspire. Joshua writes, "It is my wish that everyone who experiences chronic pain can find a little beauty in their struggle, and the inspiration to progress toward their dreams."
