Photography is more than capturing shadow and light and telling a story.

Photography is about creating a reality that we can only imagine — it’s about nurturing and enhancing something so exquisite, so profound that it can take your breath away.

And occasionally, a photograph can capture the sublime…

And when I saw these photos by Yehoshua Derovan — an incredibly gifted digital photographer — I was blown away. By all of them.

And you will be, too.
