Silence

I seem to be attracted to pursuits that involve amplifier noise.

Low-light imaging is one of the technical challenges of photography, as a small signal needs to be sensed, converted to electricity, and then amplified. It turns out that microphones and audio recorders do the exact same thing, and recording quiet sounds is fundamentally similar to low-light photography: expensive.

The good news is that silence isn't everything.
