“You feel an extra spirit – arousing you, flowing over your entire body, bringing pleasure. It seems as if fine balsam oil has been poured over you from head to your feet – once, maybe more. You are overjoyed, in delight and trembling: the soul in delight, the body in trembling. Like a rider racing a horse: the rider is joyful and exuberant, while underneath, the horse quivers.”

The Kabbalah

More and more, I am seeing IR photography as a kind of spiritual meditation, at least for now. There is a hush about the photos, a calming, the spiritual pull of the unseen, a sense of seeing something beautiful that is there, but can not be seen by me.
