The artist shared ten photographs, all depicting unique looks at Georgia's culture and natural landscape. The photos themselves told the various stories of their real life subjects and created atmospheres that capture the beauty of Georgia as a country.
In April 2018 Forbes published his article entitled Why Georgia (The Country) Is the Next Great Food and Wine Destination. In the article Morganstern speaks about Georgian food, traditions and wine-making technologies.

I only had to learn two words in Georgian to enjoy my way around the country: “thanks” and “cheers.” There were other phrases I’d prepared, but with all the endless food, wine and genuine warmth that was thrown my way, I was about three days into the trip before I even needed to say anything else. I’m not sure people even knew I wasn’t Georgian. There is wonderful hospitality around the world — and then there is Georgian hospitality”, writes Morganstern.
