By moonlight, we see in black and white. We cannot see colors. There is something fascinating and valuable about seeing the world that way. We see only what is essential. We see form emerging from a sea of blackness . . . . We can look at the world so familiar by daylight and seat anew in the black and white of moonlight. - Ming-Dao Deng, from The Lunar Tao: Meditations in Harmony with the Seasons.
Take several photographs with a cell phone and turn them into black and white.
Write into the darkness of shapes and shadows.
Search for new meaning in the areas of light.
Let emotions arise.
What do you find in the black and white of moonlight?
