Light

The nature of photography requires a relationship with the little understood fifth force of nature intrinsic to the phenomena we know as light.

Light is a fickle mistress.
She can be a fiery blaze or a faint glow.
She is brilliant,
But often chooses a subtle burnish to make a point.

Light is the joyous dance of an aurora
And the peaceful splendor of a starlit night.
She resides in the romance of candle flames 
And the sonorous fury of a lightning flash.
Every dawn renews her splendor.
Every sunset is a promise of a bright tomorrow.

Light doles out caresses and affection,
But demands understanding.
She enjoys whimsical affairs with subjects in her realm.
Yet, her capricious nature resists capture
And challenges image makers in pursuit of her favor.
