near UV spectrum wabi-sabi

The visible spectrum of light for human is rather narrow, and among its narrow range which we call as colors, there are violet and red as two extreme edges of visibility.  Any light outside of these two sides fade to be invisible.  Such invisible spectrum can still affect us in various ways such as generating vitamin D, sun burn, snow blindness by UV or heat and warmth by Infrared.  In extreme case, far outer spectrum outside of UV direction (frequency) such as certain spectrum of radiation can damage our DNA.

Some animals or photo film can see little further out of the spectrum than what we can see:  Butterflies can see UV which make them distinguish gender by looking at wings, and vipers and cobras etc. have infrared sensors to feel approaching prey or enemy.

In such sense, the void that I came to realize through the synchronicity which is mentioned in my previous log (in Japanese as I could not find the proper English word for 虚空 which is actually slightly different than void.) also does have color even though its invisible.  As a photographer I still have to cling on to the outer edge of visible spectrum to portray something that's outside of visible spectrum for the sake of photographic work for the viewer.  One of the method I came to use to do this was the effect of halo and haze around object which can be photographically emphasized by special filter that cuts all the other spectrum of light except deep blue which is the neighbor of invisible UV.

Nobel Laureate in physics Dr. Masatoshi Koshiba once told us that he likes Mozart because Mozart's pieces actually make him hear the notes (and perhaps melody) that are not actually sounding.  Many people would agree that such composer's pieces make us sense beyond the existing notes by giving us vectors by sound and silence arranged in time.
