Light is an electromagnetic event that charges matter and bends through solids and gases. It is a constant flux but our perception of it is manipulated by time. Light occupies a small spectrum of electromagnetic energy that our vision can detect. Photons emitted from charged gases or solids emerge coherently and in phase, allowing lasers to form. Light has no mass and photons have no molecular weight. With practice, we can train our vision and retinal response to customize how we see the world. The angle of incidence of light hitting a surface equals the angle of reflection. Photography transposes scenes by capturing a limited brightness range compared to human vision.

1. 10 things i know about light
projection, shadow and reflection.

2. 1. Light is an event
Exposure is an event. Light charges from the source energising mater,
bending through transparent solids, diffusing across gasses and
refracting, splintering burning warming - finally sinking into the sensors
electrical net.

3. 2. Light is Constant
A electromagnetic flux. Light is a constant. Our pleasure in pulling the
switch is a time trick.

4. 3. Light is an island
We live in the light yet it is only a small island in an ocean of
electromagnetism. Near absolute blindness is probably a better way of
describing our sensitivity to this broad spectrum of energy.

5. 4. Photons have identical twins
A sufficiently charged gas or solid will spontaneously start emitting
photons. The photons will emerge from the molecular structure in
phase. Over time the phase aligned photons will continue to multiply
and continue to stay phase aligned .This synchronicity of phase when
amplified will emerge as a stream of coherent light. Something we
uniquely know as a laser.

6. 5. Light has no mass
Light is not matter. Colours blend to white. Matter blends to black. It
seems light and matter are heading in the opposite directions. A
photon has no molecular weight.

7. 6. You can customise your vision
Your retina / mind is trainable. You can control and develop your image
mapping and your retinal response with practice. You can change the
way you see and experience the world.

8. 7. Reflections are symmetrical
The angle of incidence ( the light hitting the surface ) is equal to the
angle of reflection

9. 8. Cameras transpose a scene
The brightness range of the average DSLR is 10 stops or
1024:1 our vision far exceeds this so the act of photography
is a transposition of what we see to what we actually get. It
is in this limitation that the creative lighting process begins
