When I was a boy it always creeped me out to have closet door open when I went to sleep. The dark didn't bother me, but the open door in the dark did. Now as a photographer I love the dark and shadow world as fitting companions for the light. Before I got involved in photography I wrongly assumed that all photographs need a lot of light, the more light the better. I know better now. It is the interplay of the contrasting elements that create beauty, tension, intrigue, mystery, etc.
I saw The Stranglers in NYC during a college break, They were always an interesting band. In The Shadows is not one of their best known songs, nor is it necessarily my favorite. Yet it is an interesting and strange song and perfect for this post. Don't listen with your closet door open though...
