What we would see without light

With our cities so well lit during nighttime, it’s hard to appreciate the world beyond our busy lives. What better else than electricity to light the way to success on a late study night? What would we do without the soft glow of our cell phones that enables us to connect to those who we love? Even from a literary and cultural standpoint, “light” is often portrayed as hope and inspiration; without light, there would be chaos. Photographer Thierry Cohen takes us on a journey like no other to explore the real world beyond our own… what we would see without light.

Lights on… lights off

  1. It’s incredible what we miss with the development of urbanization, no? I guess there’s always Earth Day (today!) to remind us of the ecological impact we have on the planet, directly or indirectly. Although one day out of 365 sure isn’t enough to support sustainable development.

    On a side note… happy Earth Day! Don’t forget the 3 R’s, to close your lights when you don’t need them, and maybe to rethink reprinting that ten-paged lab (to all IB students out there…)
