Camera Position 124 : Light and Shadow

The word “photography” comes from a combination of two Greek words; “photos” (light) and “graphos” (writing or marking). So, “photography” means to “write with light” and light has a counterpart, shadow, something for light to play off of.

I’m giving Camera Position listeners an “assignment” to work with these two fundamental building blocks of photography. Go out, shoot some images with this idea in mind and, if you’d like, upload some to either the new Jeff Curto Podcasts Facebook Page or the Camera Position Flickr group so we can all take a look.
