the first time i ever looked through a telescope it was mesmerizing: saturn, the moon and then - THE SUN. it felt like something holy, something sacred. to this day i feel guilty when i look through the eyepiece at our star.

many ancient peoples believed the sun was a god. i often think of this as i do my solar photography - that i am photography the face of god. i have tried to capture the majesty and tragedy of this most sacred object to all of us. yet i wonder why me? why not the billions of other people? why do only such a select few get to see the surface of a star?

it still makes me uncomfortable.
