Photographing Nothing

Create an image of what you portray as nothing... this was a head scratcher. After all, how can something be nothing? What represents nothing? How do you capture it in an image.  Well, this is my passion. Solving this dilemmas. 
So I will quote from the book, "Best Business Practices for Photographers" by John Harrington (which is an excellent book if you are interested in starting a photography business) to rally the troops around this situation.   Let's start with my favorite.

"Education. an ongoing and critical practice; Don't rest on your Laurels."  (Chapter 29 - title pg, 475)   Continue the Learning Process: You can teach an Old Dog new tricks!  And finally, "How to grow from the couch." (pg. 479)

True pearls of wisdom. In my case, very appropriate for what I am going through, currently. I have returned to school to get an advanced education, to learn new tricks and to position myself, so for the most part, can work from my couch -metaphorically.
