For anyone who has spent part of a lifetime experimenting with lighting, it becomes clear that the majority of the work isn’t related at all to illumination, but to learning how to play with shadow. It’s certainly true that for some instances, the main goal is to make a whole area visible. That’s how it is in the indoor spaces, in theatre houses , and other public places.

For the outdoors, however, there’s rarely a need to illuminate an entire area. The outdoor spaces have very particular challenges, and very particular possibilities for very rewarding looks that just aren’t available indoors. With wide open spaces that have pockets of interest, such as plants, statues, and fountains, landscape lights can open up a whole world of possibilities.

The entire space can be conceived of as a palette, or a series of palettes, on which to experiment with how certain kinds of light will play on the textures, and how the objects and textures will cast shadows on the area in the surround.

The principles here are actually very similar to what lighting designers in theatre work on when they’re playing with darker plays. The famous one, Macbeth , needs to have lighting that evokes both indoor and outdoor spaces, and all of these are more shadows than light. But it needn’t be mysterious, because shadows are very capable of crossing the line from the spooky into the delightfully romantic with great ease.

You have so much ahead of you getting prepared for your long distance movers , so why wait until the last minute to pack? Planning in advance will help make your move much more manageable.

To start with, create a ‘move file’ to keep important information and receipts for all moving related expenses. It’s a good idea to contact the IRS website to determine what expenses can be deducted on next year’s tax returns.

Next, research the new community you’ll be moving to; their Chamber of Commerce usually will send you a relocation packet . If you have children then research the community’s schools. Finally, check out the city’s local news sites online and read up on current local events, weather and happenings.

Moving long distance is a great opportunity to reduce unnecessary stuff you have accumulated over the years. Go room by room and get rid of items that no longer are in use, or no longer have sentimental value. Then decide to give the items to charity or have a yard sale. Remember, giving to charities makes for a nice tax deduction. Sorting through your rooms gives you the opportunity to take inventory of your belongings. Make a list of everything you decide to keep and assign replacement values for insurance purposes. If the items are invaluable such as photos and home videos, computer disks, jewelry, and important documents take it with you personally rather than entrusting it to movers.

Long Distance moving should not be a stressful time; planning ahead guarantees that you and your family will have adventure and new discoveries to look forward to.
