Until We All Just Get Along

I've always been skeptical about photography.

There's so many pictures taken throughout human history. Tons and tons of them. Enough for us to look through for a few hundred lifetimes. Yet is it really art? Can something that only just captures one frame in split seconds, can be put alongside great paintings and scultures that took months or years to complete?

But of course I do take photography even though I give my no-nonsense rants. Haha.

What I'm about to show you, changed my life of what photography means.

The man behind these works of art is Gregory Colbert. They aren't photoshopped, manipulated, or digitally positioned in anyway. These pictures are part of his project Ashes and Snow, which took him 10 years and 25 expeditions to collect together..

How abbbsolutely spectacular. The purity of nature and us.

Why doesn't stuff like this ever come to Singapore? Why why why....
