Description
Captured 1/20/11, early morning, off the tabletop in my living room.
The light source was a window above the stairwell of my condo.
This is the same glass I posted yesterday, but at a different POV and without the water, and just one out of a total of 190 shots taken of drinking glasses and their shadow over a four day period that month.
Shalom.

Great composition and POV in this one, Harry; the shadow takes on the feeling of a pencil sketch on that background. Wonderful lines and lighting!

I bet no matter how many times you could try, you would be hard pressed to see the same shadow repeated. Wonderfully interesting concept.

When this first went up, I flipped. I was actually drinking water and studying its shadows on my desk: I'd just set up a new Mac and was so sick of file transfer, adapting old software (something you know more about than you'd like to remember, I'm sure), and so on, that I just zoned out on that glass and its shadows. I thought of taking shots of it, but I'm so bad at that, I thought fuggeddabboudit. (I do TERRIBLE shots in my home, and even worse shadow shots.) And about 20 minutes later, while testing out my new Safari app, I came to this upload, and flipped. It's terrific. The seen-from-above pov gives a whole new view. It's a perfect abstract, I mean the glass and its shadow seem subsumed under a brand new artwork, very Oriental (to me), very pure, morphing across the whole "canvas" until the hues are bleached out of it entirely (at top-left). It also has that same flare in the reflection, sitting there like magic. And the shape of the light yellow backing, along with the wood around it (its grain moves in the same direction as the shadows), and that towel or jacket or whatever that is on the bottom: They all make a very minimalist, Japanese abstract; and it's wonderful. Plus it's all quietly "brushed over" by light streaks, if that's what they are...I love the towel/jacket down there---great addition to the shot. (Well, I think it's a jacket of some kind, because that looks like a zipper.) Terrific piece. I like how you get a subject going, and then pursue it for a while with real diligence, like you did with this subject for a few days. Terrific.
