Shadows

I had the privilege a couple of years ago of watching a Native American Dance Troupe share one of the languages of their culture.

They were like splashes of color, shadows of reality, flittering in and out of the light.  I captured this picture and have used it many times to kickstart my creativity...

I consider the following:
1. What GREAT ideas are hiding in the shadows...obscured by the ideas that are currently dominating my attention?  Can I push those ideas out of the way so that I can find something EVEN greater?

2. Shadows are just a function of light meeting an object...how can I change the focus of the light on the problem I am working on right now?  How could I shine light on my subject from multiple angles all at the same time.

3. Shadows can be larger or smaller than the original object, depending upon the distance of the object from the light source.  How could you make your idea BIGGER or smaller?  Are you being too ambitious?  Or not ambitious enough?
