As the morning light shifted across the Sahara,these Polaroids mark the moment I discovered the beauty of instant photography. I was amazed. As the landscape changed, the sandstorm laid down, something in me seemed to change with it. Light, distance, silence, and presence moved together, dissolving the boundary between observer and observed. More than photographs of a place, these images are traces of an experience—brief, ungraspable, and held within an instant of their own.The desert, its inhabitants and we, no longer felt separate.These pictures are reflecting that brief instant of wholeness
