Patrick Overton on Learning to Fly:
When you walk to the edge of all the light you have and take that first step into the darkness of the unknown, you must believe that one of two things will happen. There will be something solid for you to stand upon or you will be taught to fly.via tweet by Cassandra Kelly.
I can pretty much do whatever I want, because I’ve always understood what light and photography do togethervia An inconvenient vision by Anne Marie Burke.
Sally Mason on Time:
It's about taking the time, make time, it's your choice how to use itvia Photographing from the heart by Marion van Dijk.
for us, life in the sun is a reality, and we who build in the sunlight sense the joy of space and light. It is our delight. The magic of shade and shadow capture our senses and direct us towards our purpose, which is to dispense comfort and happiness through useful formvia Sun and Shadow House by Elizabeth Musgrave.
Been lucky enough to have had an Architect and Builder who knows what this means. I live in the result of that intent and purpose, and I still can't believe it.
Joel Meyerowitz on Light and Dissonance:
There are 2 kinds of light; natural and man made, and often we find ourselves in the presence of both but fail to consider the photographic possibilities that their dissonance presents.via Dissonance by Joel Meyerowitz.
And a note on exposure by Matthew Kees:
exposure is a creative tool, not a right or wrong. This picture is correctly exposed for what you were going forSomething I was glad to be made aware of so early on and something I have always remembered. Thanks Matthew.
Iain S. Thomas on Light:
I hope that in the future they invent a small golden light that follows you everywhere and when something is about to end, it shines brightly so you know it's about to end.

It is like a compulsion. I can’t quite explain where it comes from other than this truly extraordinary building. The combination of the light [..] that cast wonderful striping shadows [..] is extraordinary.via Loving Light at the Office (*) by James Estrin (*).
I believe what is important is the relationship (*) between things. When you are interested in light (*), you also have to consider darkness (*). When you want a space to look bigger (*), you will have to incorporate narrow (*) spaces.via The House Detective: Amazingly Small Japanese Houses (*) by Makoto Tanijiri (*).
Light (*) is essential to photography (*). [..]via Chasing Light (*) by Rinzi Ruiz (*).
I purposefully (*) and consciously see the light and chase it. [..]
It brought depth and mood to my images. It brought out the vivid colors (to some), and added shapes and geometry to my images. I search for light and also look for the shapes the shadows (*) make. [..]
I love (*) how light (*) reveals and how shadow (*) hides elements in the photograph.
The number of possible pictures is infinite. In every light, there are some that work. The trick is not finding the "right" light. The trick is finding the right picture in the light you're in.via Ask Mike (*) by Mike Johnston (*).
[..] Without question, without doubtvia Lanterns (*) by Birds of Tokyo (*).
In the light (*) that we have found
It is finally clear
Our day has come
And we'll stand for who we are
We are ready, we are young
We have nothing to fear [..]
