Firefly Steve Caputo announces the debut of his book, “Picturing HOPE- Harnessing Our Positive Energy to conquer fear, grief and depression” right here at the Firefly Gallery (90 Main St., Northport) with an exhibit of photographic images and excerpts from the book. The exhibit runs Friday, March 14th through Thursday, March 27th.

“Picturing HOPE” chronicles Steve’s journey through a recent cancer diagnosis using his images and words to blaze the trail. But the book is more than just a hitchhiker’s guide to the cancer galaxy. It’s a roadmap to maintaining a hopeful outlook by recognizing the beauty and the blessings that surround us each day. Steve’s visual and attitudinal perspectives illuminate the path for those battling the fear, anxiety and depression that are often encountered on this journey. Along the way, he manages to offer a message that can inspire us all. This collection includes over 80 photos and essays and affirms the strong throughline of hope and positivity that is the hallmark of Steve’s work.

Come meet the author in person at a reception and book signing event featuring live music from “Johnny & the Basement” scheduled for Sunday, March 16th, from 2-5PM.
