Description

Traditionally photographed on 35mm B&W film, developed and printed by hand. Scanned, combined and tweaked in Photoshop. ----- Turn your face to the sun and the shadows fall behind you. -Charlotte Whitton And in those weaker glories spy Some shadows of eternity. (Silex Scintillans) -Harry Vaughan When the sun sets, shadows, that showed at noon But small, appear most long and terrible. (Oedipus) -Nathaniel Lee Manners are like the shadows of virtues, they are the momentary display of those qualities which our fellow creatures love and respect. -Sydney Smith When you are old and grey and full of sleep, and nodding by the fire, take down this book and slowly read, and dream of the soft look your eyes had once, and of their shadows deep. -W B Yeats If God created shadows, it was to better emphasize the light. -Pope John XXIII The shadows now so long do grow, That brambles like tall cedars show, Molehills seem mountains, and the ant Appears a monstrous elephant (Evening Quatrains) -Charles Cotton Life itself is but the shadow of death, and souls departed but the shadows of the living. -Sir Thomas Browne

Shadows are our friends. They follow us everywhere on beautiful days. But they are smart too! They stay indoors on rainy days. Pretty lame? as were a few above I guess. Nice job Kort! KP

Wo die Liebe herrscht, da gibt es keinen Machtwillen, und wo die Macht den Vorrang hat, ja fehlt die Liebe. Das eine ist der Schatten des andern. Where love rules, there is no will to power, and where power predominates, love is lacking. The one is the shadow of the other. Carl Gustav Jung 1875-1961

I like the shadow play on these photos. I think Charlotte Whitton has the right idea.. the shadows become longer and thinner and not so much of a problem too :o) Not so good when taking a photo into full sunlight though lol

I do love the 'play' light/shadow and the way they interact. The quotations are sublime. Bravo Kort !!!

...hey! --- I'm disappointed!--when these started unscrolling I was just getting into the groove - and they stopped after two! ---- I was hoping for a longer show -- didn't even have time to finish my popcorn.
