Taking a photo from behind the camera and in front of it at the same time

feels like talking to yourself. It felt right to connect this work to the Arecibo message - an interstellar radio message carrying basic information about humanity and Earth that was sent to

globular star cluster M13 in 1974 from scientists led by Frank Drake. The binary code consists of 1679 bits, arranged into 73 lines of 23 characters

per line, as shown in the book. The total broadcast was less than three

minures.

The message is still on the way and to this day we are waiting for a listener.

This could very well be the greatest soliloquy ever.
