What is our work?
Our work is to make love visible.
Written words and art are love made visible, songs and music are love made audible, poetry is love made visible and audible. That is the WHY, our reason to write, create, translate, dress, act, sing, dance, play music together, paint, decorate, clean and create life and order out of original raw chaos. This is our reason to publish our works, and our work is to follow the creation pattern when something meaningful is created out of apparent chaos or nothingness at all.

The origins of life
Contrary to the scientific or religious perceptions, the origins of life are not traced to anything close to their guesses. Both are fallen in the faulty ideas of either "only what is proved is true" or "only what our scripture says is true". What is true, however, is the emerging issue of sensing the truth and compassionate understanding married with the scientific curiosity about the unknown. Without trust, there is no direction. Without reason, there can be no "content creation" for any direction in question.

The Natural Light Baseline
To differentiate that role from that of "key" modeling when a modeling source moves behind the object it is typically called a "rim" or "accent" light. In portrait lighting it also called a "hair" light because it is used to create the appearance of physical separation between the subject's head and background.
When a photographer puts the sun behind an object its role in the lighting strategy changes from modeling the front of the object to one of defining its outline and creating the impression of physical separation and 3D space a frontally illuminated scene lacks.

Creating Natural Looking Artificial Lighting
A typical studio lighting configuration will consist of a fill source to control shadow tone, a single frontal key light to create the highlight modeling clues on the front of object facing the camera over the shadows the fill illuminates, one or more rim/accent lights to create separation between foreground and background, and one or more background lights to control the tone of the background and separation between it and the foreground.
There are two significant differences between natural lighting and artificial sources. One is the character of the fill and the other is more rapid fall-off in intensity. In nature skylight fill is omni-directional and usually brighter from above. That "wrap around" characteristic is difficult to duplicate with a directional artificial source.
