Photography by SC / Author Charlie Siegel

His entire portfolio of images are available in our store as handmade greeting cards, prints in a variety of sizes, gallery-style photo canvas, framed prints and more! Even more formats (including fun merchandise gifts featuring the photo of your choice!) are available on his website www.NaturePhotobySC.com too!

His ever-growing series of inspirational poetry and short stories are available as laminated or framed prints, with the uplifting lines printed directly on his own healing imagery themed with the message of the written works. Many of them are also published in his second book, "When You Realize How Perfect Everything Is". A second poetry collection is in the works!

His first novel "Conversations with an Angel: A story of healing through the passageways of grief" has its home available for sale from our bookshelf. (It is also available on Amazon.) You can call or email us to place an order for it or anything else in our store! You can often meet him when you stop into Wisdom of the Ages and get any of his works autographed! Feel free to call ahead to see if he's available!

His second book, "When You Realize How Perfect Everything Is" can be called a conversation about life between grandfather and grandson. It is co-authored with his grandfather, NY Times Bestselling Author Bernie Siegel, MD! It is a powerfully beautiful collection of their poetry, going through a journey of wonder over seven different sections which are also illustrated by Charlie's photography. Remarkably, their poems were written completely separately, decades apart, but complement each other as they alternate throughout their book in a powerful conversation about life and spirituality. It is available here in our store, as well as on Amazon - just contact us to place an order with PayPal or credit card to be shipped anywhere, or stop in the store!

Charlie's third book, "To Become a Living Art: The life story of Roy Shingen Goldberg Sensei" is a biography of his martial arts teacher. (Charlie leads our Daito Ryu Aikijujutsu classes weekly, sharing the art he learns from and trains with Roy Goldberg Sensei.) As Charlie explained, "I have been a student of the martial arts since I was 4 years old. Summer 2023 is 25 years in the martial arts for me. I was honored in 2020 when Goldberg Sensei asked if I would write his biography, just after the release of my second book, "When You Realize How Perfect Everything Is." This book is the product of hours of recorded interviews and hundreds of incredible stories of this man who shares his life story here as a means of expressing the message that we can all become our best selves when we set our minds on a path of greatness. His eventual success as the highest-ranking non-Japanese teacher of Daito Ryu Aikijujutsu is only a part of his remarkable life story. As this book shares, life's myriad experiences are not setbacks or roadblocks; they are merely steppingstones that make us stronger when we climb over them with a shugyo mentality." This book is available for sale now on our shelves, as well as online on Amazon. Contact us to order autographed copies!

Charlie is happily hard at work at future books, including larger works of fiction/fantasy with a spiritual touch. Stay tuned for his next books soon to come! :)

"Charlie has a fine eye for photography...they are nothing short of exquisite, and the way he catches sunlight is as if he caught a prayer in motion. Just beautiful."
~ author Cynthia Hurn, 3/1/2018

"Charlie is not only my grandson. He is my co-author as well, and has become my teacher. He is at least three times older on the inside than he looks on the outside, in terms of wisdom, spirituality and his insight on life. I am continually amazed by the things that come out of him in his writing, poetry and photography."
~ NY Times Bestselling Author, Bernie Siegel, MD, 5/12/2021

Breathtaking photography...it is evident that the photographer, Charlie Siegel, has thoughtfully interacted with each of his subjects...Indeed, the subject of each photo seems to emit its own energy as if it is interacting with its photographer...whether flora, fauna or an inanimate object, the subject seems to know the level of love and care this photographer has for the subject and the photos emit a reciprocal and palpable energy...Mr. Siegel's work reflects an appreciative and adoring eye for nature and the photos seem to be a great focal point for deep meditation...
