Wow! These photographs are magnificent.
Such a sense of contrast and of imagination.
Was quite taken with the White Trash and Shadow Boxing.
But the Shadow Line knocked my socks off. :-)
Amazing what artists do. (I think I've said that before!) I used to line up my students on a bright sunny day & I'd take their 'shadow' picture, then we would see if we could recognize everyone. Sometimes they would pose. A fun project. I love the white trash with gulls especially! thanks Tabatha!
Hi, Tabatha. So much to love in these images, yet they each handled shadows in a different way. I looked at some of the origami shadow art -- just amazing, those profiles. Each one is different, just like human faces.
