In this photo essay I discuss the theological dimension of photography. I locate this theological dimension in opposition to Nietzsche's critique of metaphysics. For Nietzsche, metaphysics represents the superimposition of stasis onto life, which is always in flux. Metaphysics thereby misrepresents life in an attempt to control it. Against this, I propose that human efforts to capture a moment in life often aims at providing a space for us to delight in it, and give thanks to God. This is a consistent element of art as a truly human activity, and it is in this that photography finds its theological dimension.
