EXPOSED TO THE LIGHT

Fantastic!!

Shrouded in mystery, as usual, which only serves to render the image more fascinating. To say more with less is more difficult than the contrary, and few photography achieve this. However his most important contribution usually is to furnish a story line, and that renders the image still more still intriguing, particularly where the options are so many.

It is hard to understand the photographer whom I have the privilege of knowing in this case. The clarity of his thought and expression, he is a nuclear physicist after all, contrasts markedly with the style of his art. One can only conclude that there are more facets to his character and hence his art than apparent at first, which is all to his credit of course.

Dear friend, your comments ares so rich in concepts and textures that I'm profoundly flattered.

Anyway, this time your words well deserves a more detailed answer.

Yes, I've studied physics of particles. A "hard" science, as we believe, despite my overwhelming passion about physics I never could finish my studies because of a series of cruel facts that are not on the table here, not today.

Contrary to popular beliefs particle physics is not so far from the art, after all, beyond the complex and boring algorithms there is a body of knowledge that amaze us with its wonderful structure approaching humans in a way that goes beyond imaginable.

Our blood is red by iron containing, our bones are white by calcium, which is a metal, the water that makes up 70% of our body contains hydrogen, synthesized in the same instant of the big bang, then 70% of our body has 13,700 billion years recycled time after time along millions of years... what if we're old... and much more than one single thing or living being...

And I could go on with the account of every element used to compose a person.
Where do these elements come from?

Well, we come from the very first nanosecond of life of the universe mixed with the stars born later.

But not any common kind of stars, but a very special kind of star.

A Supernova.

I end here. I do not want to bore anyone with my story.

We are stardust, each of the infinitesimal particles that make us come from the stars.

Then, that fantastic woman that you can see in my picture is only but stardust. Each gentle curve of her extraordinarily human body, each single line of her delicate skin, the smooth tone of her voice, and more, are the final result of our elemental particles conjugated in one single and unique way. I told you, the physics is not so far from art.

Perhaps this could explain the strange connection between my early contact with the elements and my passion of today.

.. all true, until you study quantum mechanics and ask yourself what is real, where is it situated and how do things become entangled and connect through nonlocality. Maybe the mere fact that we observe our models leads them to take up a different form, as would explain our friend Shrödinger .. : -)

the mystery must therefore remain and the cycle will continue to operate not only through the passage of stardust to our present form and back, but through the interraction with each other which is an essential part of the process .. and then who knows, those 13.7 billion years and more may be repeated all over again (it certainly feels more realistic to me than any string theory and multiverse options)  ..!
