SUMMARY:Afternoon with the Author Dafne Heinzmann: Signed Books\, Sparkling Conversation & Sound Healing
DESCRIPTION:Artist Dafne Heinzmann joins us to discuss and sign her new book\, Ethereal Moments.  Not just a collection of photographs — it is a sensory journey\, a meditation on the transformative power of nature and the emotions it evokes. Captured entirely through the lens of her phone\, these images of Key Biscayne challenge convention\, embracing the immediacy and intimacy of the moment. For the artist\, photography is not about the tools but about capturing the essence of a fleeting experience: the light\, the texture\, the feeling of being immersed in paradise.
