Everything about the circumstances we live in are extraordinary. We live in a universe with perfectly tuned constants, orbiting a large but strangely quiet sun, on an improbable planet that has an unusual amount of heavy elements. So many coincidences had to align perfectly, and yet here we are, on this extraordinarily beautiful planet.

Sometimes I forget how unlikely any of this is. Photography has allowed me to feel the full awe and wonder that our world has to provide. The Earth has proved more majestic than my wildest dreams.
