Notan

There are satisfying and rich rewards to be rendered in the tasteful interplay of positive and negative space, that is, the interplay of light and dark, a concept known to the Japanese as "notan." This is a concept that is equally applicable to photography, painting, sculpture, typography, food preparation, and, well let's just say that we are limited only by our imagination.

The key is to observe the magic, and have fun with it.
