U nderstand the shapes and spaces around. Crusty old pipes defining rectilinear negative space make for an image I am reasonably pleased with. Negative space sometimes provides the emotional and inspired essence of a scene or event.

“Though thirty spokes may form the wheel,
it is the hole within the hub
which gives the wheel utility.
It is not the clay the potter throws,
which gives the pot its usefulness,
but the space within the shape,
from which the pot is made.
We hammer wood for a house,
but it is the inner space
that makes it livable.
Such is the utility of non-existence.”
- Lao Tzu
