Hmm...your studies in Astronomy & Astrophysics help to explain your affinity for nighttime photography. Do you still do anything in the field? Thanks, Alister! Hmm…your studies in Astronomy & Astrophysics help to explain your affinity for nighttime photography.

Do you still do anything in the field?

However, there is more hope than just becoming part of the landscape. If we except Christ as Lord and our replacement for sin, we will have an eternity with him (see Romans 10:9). Interesting post.

I always loved the line "We are made of the dust of the stars" - it's why I studies Astronomy & Astrophysics at uni. This is a really neat post Greg.

I like how the grass looks like the piles of animal hair you sometimes find in the woods, and how it's a little hard to distinguish from the fox parts. Definitely reinforces the "Becoming the Landscape" idea. Great image, Greg, wonderfully processed, and it certainly works symbolically.

I think you might have a point...perhaps we're also "railing against death." in our efforts to document, immortalize. I think that for each of us, the reasons for taking photographs run very deep, and there are several branches to our reasoning. Thanks--as always--for your thoughts... Thanks for the thoughts, David.

I doubt my teeth will outlast the rest of my body as this poor fellow's have. However, I do see that I am just like him in a fundamental way. Perhaps photography is in some ways an acceptance of death and our oneness with the land in the end. Then again, perhaps photography can also be a railing against death, a refusal to heed the call, to immortalize something before we go. Thanks for the link, Greg, and the insightful post.
