Life Images calls itself "a collection of captured moments and inspired journaling" but it truly exceeds those expectations. In short, Stampington & Company has managed to publish a high-quality art gallery in book form.

Guide Review - Review of Life Images Magazine
Life Images magazine is more than a random conglomeration of puppies and kittens while not straying into the realm of elitist avante-garde snobbery that all to often infects art publications. Within its 144 pages you will find photographs accompanied by quotes and original text by the photographers. Images range from pets to essays on abandoned houses. I am thrilled to see that the contributors used cameras ranging from point and shoot to DSLRs, proving once again that the photographer is more important than an expensive camera. Life Images is a magazine that takes the place of more expensive coffee table books.
