All photographs are original and mine. They are made using a variety of vintage Minolta Rokkor and other vintage lenses on modern digital cameras. They are in a sense my picture diary. - Guy Biechele

This quote by Carl Sagan in his book “ The Demon-Haunted World”

“ I have a foreboding of an America in my children’s or grandchildren’s time—when the United States is a service and information economy; when nearly all the key manufacturing industries have slipped away to other countries; when awesome technological powers are in the hands of a very few, and no one representing the public interest can even grasp the issues; when the people have lost the ability to set their own agendas or knowledgeably question those in authority; when, clutching our crystals and nervously consulting our horoscopes, our critical faculties in decline, unable to distinguish between what feels good and what’s true, we slide, almost without noticing, back into superstition and darkness.”

This passage reflects his concern that without widespread scientific literacy and critical thinking, society could become vulnerable to manipulation, misinformation, and authoritarian control. Sagan believed that democracy depended on an informed and educated populace, and he advocated for science education as a way to empower people to make rational decisions in an increasingly complex world.
