A picture is worth a thousand words!

How many of us love Halloween, because we can explore our alter ego's by dressing up and living our fantasies, if only for one evening?

Well, Welcome to the West Coast of the US; where folks are living and becoming their dreams, where the progressive, "One Love" way of life is materializing right before our eyes. Where people can be themselves. As we explore and embrace our oneness, we realize that we have many facets, or dimensions to our unique selves.

We can come together and celebrate life to the fullest and love one another without judgments. Sound a bit altruistic? Come to a festival and see and experience for yourself. We can commune with our mother the earth and our father the sky and all beings! As a people that once misplaced their connections to one another, creation and the elements, we have come full circle. Explore the ultimate in creative lifestyles through Kyer Wiltshire's beautiful book, Tribal Revival. -Debora Myers, cofounder of ladyfire.com

"My two decades of experience as a concert/festival producer and music magazine publisher lead me to state with confidence that Kyer is undoubtedly the finest festival, concert and model photographers in the entire alternative lifestyle scene."

-Johnny Dwork, Peak Experience Productions
