LIGHT • SHADOW • EDGE

WHEN THREE THINGS MEET

 

Looking Back

For the past three issues, we looked at one thing at a time.

Light helped us notice what becomes visible. Shadow brought darker shapes into view. Edge helped us see where one thing ends and another begins.

 

Joining the Dots

This week, we look at how they work together.

Return to our photographs by Todd Hido, André Kertész and Stephen Shore. Look beyond the element we first noticed. What else can you see now?

A bright area catches your eye. A darker shape appears beside it. An edge helps you tell them apart.

You can begin with any one of the three.

 

Carry It Forward

When something catches your eye today, stay a little longer.

Notice the light, a darker shape, and where two areas meet.

 

No Rush. One thing at a time

See Photo — https://www.moma.org/collection/works/165379 Take a quiet moment to notice where two things meet. A door against a wall. A wet patch beside dry ground.
