Light is a powerful tool because, by it, we see and do everything else. It is a true artist who is able to harness light to show us things we may otherwise miss - to tell a story without using any words at all. I'm sure you've heard this said of some of life's most important but fleeting moments: If you blink, you'll miss it. But what photography does in the opening and closing of the aperture is just this. In the blink of an eye, the photographer catches a baby's first smile, the moment a flower reaches full bloom, a bird of prey with wings perfectly outstretched, the first rays of morning sun piercing the fog. In the following pages award winning photographer, Hal Moran, shares some stunning images of creation, moments where light was captured at just the right instant. I hope you're able to give pause and enjoy these beautiful images. Perhaps more importantly, I hope you are able to see in them the deeper meanings they are meant to impart. Yes, they are a photographic record of nature, of life. They are also metaphor. I would modify the old adage in this way: If you turn the page too quickly, you'll miss it.
