Photography

Light. In the end, it's all about light.

It took ages of my life and years of studying physics & astronomy to realise that everything I love has something to do with light. No matter whether it's been emitted by the sun eight minutes ago and it relentlessly heats your skin and body – especially when you're around the 40N parallel or below – or whether it's been travelling across the cosmos for billions of years and it somehow encodes the history of the universe. Light – in all of its flavours, at all energies and wavelenghts, all over the spectrum. I guess it's because of its revealing power. The ability that light has to bring things, people and stories into sheer existence. When it's reflected – by people in the street, by the moon in the sky – when it scatters off particles in the atmosphere (few things top sunset light filtered by thick clouds after a storm) and even when it's deflected by really massive objects – like huge galaxy clusters that are mostly made up of dark matter. But more than everything, I enjoy light when it's impressed on film – especially black & white.

You might call it photography.
