“Light is the keeper of Time and Photography is nothing without either. “

In its physical sense, Light shows us what is in the dark. As a metaphor, when we are enlightened, the parts of ourselves that we keep hidden are illuminated and seen. True healing from within can only begin when we crack ourselves open, allowing light into the darkest corners or our minds where fear, pain and regret often exist. Light reveals. It heals. There is freedom and beauty in this transformative process; to be seen and known.

We may survive in darkness but is that really any way to live?

Much like the words of a song or lines in poetry can stir up feelings, I believe a certain quality of light can be quite profound- it can provoke an emotional response. When I observe light to see how it is speaking to me, I feel that I am brought into a meditative state. In particular, sitting with the fading light at the end of a long day and indulging in the poetic nuance it possesses does wonders for my mind. Shadows grow longer and light becomes softer until it suddenly disappears; the mark of another day.

Light is the keeper of Time and Photography is nothing without either.
