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.
It's unbelievably amazing how writing autobiographical information can lead to a life-threatening (not to mention eye-twitching) case of writer's block! This leaves me no choice but to do so in the most uncreative way one could proceed: in lists. Although, enumerating facts is arguably the most logical route, as Sherlock Holmes may express. It, however, does not wholly illustrate my passion for visual arts, travel, and - as speculated - my tendency to live in novels of brilliance. My quiet nature could rival that of Holmes when he withdraws into his depths, but my wonderment toward metropolitan cities such as London and Paris parallels Nick Carraway's as he plunges into the world of The Great Gatsby. But enough ranting about oneself! Please enjoy our articles and do not hesitate to leave your thoughts underneath - we love to hear from you!
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…)

Woah. Fascinating.
