Stanley Rosen (jew) identifies Nietzsche's equation of nihilism with "the situation which obtains when 'everything is permitted.'"[9] Nietzsche asserts that this nihilism is a result of valuing "higher", "divine" or "meta-physical" things (such as God), that do not in turn value "base", "human" or "earthly" things. But a person who rejects God and the divine may still retain the belief that all "base", "earthly", or "human" ideas are still valueless because they were considered so in the previous belief system (such as a Christian who becomes a communist and believes fully in the party structure and leader).In this interpretation, any form of idealism, after being rejected by the idealist, leads to nihilism. Moreover, this is the source of "inconsistency on the part of the nihilists". The nihilist continues to believe that only "higher" values and truths are worthy of being called such, but rejects the idea that they exist. Because of this rejection, all ideas described as true or valuable are rejected by the nihilist as impossible because they do not meet the previously established standards.

In this sense, it is the philosophical equivalent to the Russian political movement: the leap beyond skepticism — the desire to destroy meaning, knowledge, and value. To Nietzsche, it was irrational because the human soul thrives on value. Nihilism, then, was in a sense like suicide and mass murder all at once. He considered faith in the categories of reason, seeking either to overcome or ignore nature, to be the cause of such nihilism. "We have measured the value of the world according to categories that refer to a purely fictitious world".[10] He saw this philosophy as present in Christianity (which he described as 'slave morality';), Buddhism, morality, asceticism and any excessively skeptical philosophy.

As the first philosopher to study nihilism extensively, however, Nietzsche was also quite influenced by its ideas. Nietzsche's complex relationship with nihilism is most evident in the following well-known quote:

I praise, I do not reproach, [nihilism's] arrival. I believe it is one of the greatest crises, a moment of the deepest self-reflection of humanity. Whether man recovers from it, whether he becomes master of this crisis, is a question of his strength!

– Friedrich Nietzsche, Complete Works Vol. 13

No worries mate, your work is pretty damn good for lack of a more eloquent way of putting it :D

If you've got time, some pointers about photography would be great, always looking to learn more :)

Uhm, well I wouldn't know where to start...I just copy what other people do :-)
I guess the first and most important thing I learned is about when to take photos. Pretty much every photo I've got on here was taken just before sunset. Around an hour before the sun goes down you get really warm rich light...so even if you're not actually photographing the sky, the light is really rich and saturated, like this [link] [link] [link] and [link] None of those are sunset shots and could have been taken at any time of day, but it's the light that makes them work, and that's because they were taken just before the sun went down.
Also, a thing I've learned from here is that vertical/portrait shots, really really work because they help cut out stuff that you don't need in the foreground, but help you feel the shot with an interesting sky.
A technical thing is that I always bracket shots so I get three, one a little underexposed and one a little over exposed...I tend to go with the under-exposed shots a lot as I think the colour is richer.
Also, a polarizing filter really makes colours and skies come out.
That's about all I can think of now, but I'll note you if I can think of anything else. For every shot I keep I must throw away 100..so my ration isn't very good.
Hope that's useful
Take care :-)
