No Man Shadow
I like this one nearly as much as yesterday’s, but the man whose shadow this is makes that shot better.
However, this shot is much more abstract and that I do like.

I like the processing of these blue ones. They are like cyanotypes and I think would be interesting printed on rag paper.
I seem to be way behind on looking at other blogs, lots of interesting work here, ehpem.

This is almost as evocative as yesterdays shot. But I have to say I prefer it with the figure of the man in the frame. It’s lonelier. Unless you see the first photo it’s difficult to say if this is the shadow of a person. I like the human element.

Thanks Ken – those are my feelings too, though I had not thought to call it ‘lonely’, that is a good descriptor for how I react to the photo. Maybe it is why I don’t like the man-with-dog version so much (perhaps to come later). I do like the abstract nature and shape of the shadow though, and in many circumstances it could work really well too, as a graphic element.

I like this one better, too – because of the mystery about just what that shadow’s from.

It is an odd shadow. A bit like the penquin shadow I had up last week (http://wp.me/p1R4lY-54e). Difficult to see the human in this shape, which is very interesting to me.

I loved the penguin shadow, and showed it to Miss Hannah, who loves penguins.
Actual conversation:
Me: What do you like best about penguins?
Hannah: EVERYTHING!!

I am very pleased to have the approval of Miss Hannah. She obviously has a discerning eye for a penguin.

She is quite discerning. For a six year old, that is….
