One Breath

One Breath is a book of humanistic portraits that span our planet, reminding us of the basic truth that we are all one people, all connected. No matter what ethnicity, nationality, or beliefs we hold, we all partake in the miracle of our first breath at birth, the adventure of life, and the mystery of death.

This book journeys through the heart of humanity. Lisa Kristine's portraits introduce us to people of all ages, colors, and creeds, celebrating the human family. As John Sweeney of the United Nations Association of New York has said, "Lisa Kristine's sensitive and beautiful portrayal of isolated and distant peoples helps us to better appreciate the diversity of the world. She captures the sheer beauty of the differences in people and places and allows us to comprehend the shared nature of the human conditions: its hope, its joy and its complexity."

With a foreword by National Geographic Fellow Explorer Elizabeth Kapu'uwailani Lindsey, Ph.D., this collection of powerful images illustrates the universal human experience. One Breath carries us on an inspirational passage through the world and into the hearts of our fellow inhabitants.
