"I have known Glenn Sturm, the power lawyer, entrepreneur, business leader, and the man with the public company Midas Touch. Imagine my surprise when I met Glenn Sturm, the military historian, with the release of his book Warriors Hate War. Considering his polymathic expanse of skills, it should have been no surprise to meet Glenn Sturm, the astrophotographer. Syzygies is an indispensable addition to not only the coffee table but the entire universe."
—Governor David A. Paterson—55th Governor of New York.
"Glenn's visionary acumen and lifelong passion for photography equip him to uncover unique and valuable perspectives in Syzygies—an insightful read."
— Kenneth M. Ford, CEO of the Florida Institute for Human and Machine Cognition.
Syzygies is an absolutely amazing book. Well presented with instructions on how to set up and take images of specular events like the solar eclipse. Lessons learned in this book could be easily transcribed for other photographic projects. The way the book is structured with beautiful images invites the reader to learn more and more as each page is turned. Loved it.
