Although the text was very informative and interesting, I found myself drawn in especially by the pictures in this chapter.  It contained several images that left me wondering how in the world these photographers got some of the effects they did, which got me even more interested to learn about light and shadow.  The photos on page 122 by Anna Gaskell and Gregory Crewdson especially intrigued me, as well as the photo on page 110 by Henry Peach Robinson.  All of them seemed to portray an almost otherworldly scene as the text suggests with the use of cinema-inspired lighting and compiling multiple negatives together.  I definitely want to experiment now with lighting and its effects, such as that of these photos.
