Humanity is Relativity

What are the necessary qualities to be called a human? Consciousness, reality... right and wrong...

Every person has a different set of truths, every person has a different way to identify things within her / his periphery. When we talk about humanity, we talk about all these qualities and how their meanings are interchangable. Humanity is relativity. Its absolute definition relies in us; and it is based on our experiences relative to others.

• Notes

  f/22 aperture and 1/8 shutter speed is kind o an odd couple. The reason I pushed the limits of capturing perfect light with the inversed settings was to create added drama in this stormy day. Normally, you wold expect to use a faster shutter speed and a wider aperture. However, I was barely able to open my eyes in storm. To get the same effect on my camera I had to use this odd aperture / shutter couple ;)
