Minor White

This picture of Minor White’s is the best argument towards the existence of G_d that I’ve ever come across:

It is a photograph that poses ineffable questions while at the same time offering inherent answers.  One risks vanishing into it.

    Brings this notion to mind , interesting those transcendental photography moments.

    “I was suddenly arrested in the long, crunching path of the ridge by an exceedingly pointed awareness of the light. The moment I paused, the full impact of the mood was upon me. I saw more clearly than I’d ever seen before, the minute detail of the grasses, the small flotsam of the forest, the motion of the high clouds streaming above the peaks. I dreamed that for a moment, time stood quietly and the vision became but the shadow of an infinitely greater world, and I had within the grasp of consciousness a transcendental experience.” A.Adams
