When I came upon the above quote, it really spoke to me because I love light. I love the warmth and light of the sun and I love gazing at the stars. When I was a little girl and my family was driving somewhere at night, I would pretend that all the cars headlights and taillights were strings of rubies and diamonds. I have stood in my share of fields at dusk to see the light of fireflies flickering in the air. All three of my children were born when it was warm. I sang lullabies to each one of them under glow of the stars in the night sky. Even now, I love to stand outside under the night sky and pray. I just feel closer to God when I am gazing at the beauty of the night sky. I don't know why...I just love light. I guess my love of light helps explain why I love photography so much. The word "photography" comes from two Greek words. Photo comes from "phos" and means light and graphy comes from "graphi" which means to write or draw. The exact form in greek is fotografia. So, as a photographer, we write or draw with light. Fascinating...
