My perception….
My fascination with photography stems from the ability of a camera to harness one of the most powerful forces in the universe in an artistic way. The presence of light can bring life or death to planets and the species that inhabit them. To understand photography is to understand the nuances of light and how our eyes receive it. Growing up, hearing terms like "the speed of light" always evoked Sci-Fi fantasy images of space ships traveling at warp speed. But nothing puts the speed of light into a perspective like seeing the difference in shutter speed between to images.
