To create is to notice

Let there be light! And there was light, and it created a really interesting shadow…

The skill of noticing detail’s. Like any embedded skill, it takes a lot of practise. It’s like a teacher and a badly placed apostrophe (hee hee!) – it jumps out of the text and hits you on the head – but it’s merely a little divot in a sentence.

The visual thinkery I’ve created changed radically when I started noticing highlights and shadows; it’s all about what the light is doing.

Maybe to create is to notice.
