Shadow is an amazing subject. Shadow is an absence. As an absence of energy you can compare it to silence or maybe cold air.... We talk about photography being simple and architecture being complex and how do you convey something that is more deep, that allows you to dream or think This is weird so you start to dream and think and you maybe go out purely from the picture but into yourself. The light and the shadow are tools to allow you to do that.
