When he was still a student at CalTech, Paul Steinhardt (now the Albert Einstein Professor of Science at Princeton!) once asked his professor Richard Feynman (Nobel Prize in Physics) what was the color of a shadow? He was afraid that Feynman would think it was a dumb question, but instead he launched into a lovely discussion on the subject. I think that I can find it, and I will send it to you!
ah yes there are so many more colors in shadows than we realize -- I personally love the overlap -- and juxtaposition -- of science and art on this subject!
If that was you with an iPod touch, holy sh!t. You are a talent, Jennifer. xo
ha! Thank you so much, Sandra! I really did learn a lot from that creative experiment!! xo

I just thought that was such an interesting interaction!! I’m glad you liked it!! 😉
i really love this! and i love shadows, how it always means we're being lit 😌
Thanks! And exactly! You can't have shadows without light... like rainbows without rain. I love contrast 😌
