Photographs, like everything else we see, are fugitive illusions derived
from light. It causes mist to rise, wind to blow, and rain to water the
land. Scattering, sunlight makes the sky blue, and striking chlorophyll, it
makes green plants grow. Animals harvest its energy as blades and stems and

particles of light. The atmosphere, the oceans, the very rocks of the
planet are the distillate dross of our star.
