Musings: Shadows

3/31/2015

The truth of shadows lie in the relationship between the entity, the surface contours, and the light. Without each other, the shadow would simply not exist. That blocking of the source of illumination; that elusive shape that creates depth, mystery, intrigue. It's a fleeting moment, a difference constructed by the confluence of factors that rely on each other. In the change lies a distant effect that we may not yet, or ever, see.  Does the grass grow a little less where your shadow fell?  Does an insect scurry in a different direction?  In that elusive moment in time, what truths are in the phantom nature of the shadow? 

Capturing those shadows lends legitimacy to each essence of the trinity: object, surface, and illumination.
