I love, love , love that particular excerpt. The first time I read it, as a teenager, I felt like I was reading about myself.

My reference to 'writing with light' is actually a quite literal translation of the word 'photography'.

photo = light
graph = write

We're so accustomed to the word that we rarely see the root of it. The act of picture-taking has become so commonplace, we only focus on the result rather than the how. Yet the element that creates the image is, in fact, light.

Now I'm inspired – perhaps I should draft a post about this. ;)
