Space Quote by Ken Ilgunas

“Sometimes, to cede control to fate, I realized, is to assume more control than ever before. I wasn’t just traveling anymore. I was traveling outside the formula. I might as well have been floating through space, trailing my hand in stardust.” quote by Ken Ilgunas — Download Open image

“Like us, many students had spent their years in college thinking they’d get that well-paying, planet-saving job, even if they’d heard horror stories from recent underemployed grads. Those jobs, of course, no longer exist (if they ever did). By 2009, 17.4 million college graduates had jobs that didn’t even require a degree. There are 365,000 cashiers and 318,000 waiters and…

It unleashed terrifying…

“We can only miss what we once possessed. We can only feel wronged when we realize something has been stolen from us.

And few think of dark forests lit up…

I have a way to photograph. You work with space, you have a camera, you have a frame, and then a fraction of a second. It's very instinctive.
