These pictures are all part of my ‘-26,8 mag’ project. ‘-26,8 mag’ describes the visual brightness of the sun - a physical measure for the brightness of a star as seen by an observer on earth. The whole series of photographs is dedicated to making this photonic power (which is the basic energy of life) visible.

I need an intact natural environment to capture these pure streams of light. From my personal point of view there are two locations where I find the perfect conditions for this kind of work: The Black Forest and British Columbia. Nearly all the pictures of this story were taken there.
