Guest guest Posted April 5, 2001 Report Share Posted April 5, 2001 Here is a quote I found today on a graphics site I was exploring, and it seemed to have so many levels of meaning for me I thought I would share it with the group. I also remember a quote from somewhere (darn those memory cells) that basically says that shadow is the complement/companion of light; though light seeks and dissipates shadows, it also creates them. Without shadow we would not have the experience of color and form that we have in a three dimensional world. > Shadows provide very important visual cues in the images we see. They > clearly show the physical relationship and proximity of different objects. > Rendering a 3D scene with shadows can provide almost as much information > as a pair of stereo images. > > Carlos Castaneda had this to say about shadows in one of his books about > Don Juan. > > Shadows > > Don Juan pointed directly to a boulder in front of us. " Look at > the shadow of that boulder, " he said. " The shadow is the boulder, > and yet it isn't. To observe the boulder in order to know what > the boulder is, is doing, but to observe its shadow is not-doing. " > > " Shadows are like doors, the doors of not-doing. You may say > that there is movement in them, or you may say that the lines of > the world are shown in them, or you may say that feelings come > from them.
