shadows
this is the first time i've had a camera to lug around(on loan from my grandfather). i'm having quite a lot of fun with it. i have to admit i only know one setting: no flash. this little camera is good for me--it can handle my shakiness. i took pictures with michelle's when she was here, and they all turned out blurry because i can't hold still for the shutter speed.
so i'm finding that i get stuck taking most of my pictures of shadows and reflections. i like finding the illusions. so today, here are some of my shadows...since myself always seems to be with me to photograph.
I love the pictures!! And, I love this line...
"...since myself always seems to be with me to photograph."
I like your photos they are quite the cool. yes quite the cool... I like reflections too, they own this quality of mystery, very cool... I like your self portrait from school too... rock on.. keep clicking. BMW

Posted by: katiek at September 16, 2004 05:28 PMi have this neat picture book called "footprints and shadows". i have always loved shadows and reflections. your pictures are fabulous. i love the shadow porch one - and the two on the path. are you going to put these in paintings? because if you do - i totally want one.

Posted by: anna at September 16, 2004 09:38 PMdeb. thanks. i was looking through some of these the other day thinking i had way too many of myself. but then again, i can always count on myself to be around when i'm in the mood to take pictures.
brian. thank you. i'm glad you think they're cool.
kt. peter pan is a lovely thought.
amy. thanks. you know, i hadn't thought of putting them in paintings, but now i just might... (the wheels are turning in my brain)and, let me know when you start your sculpture garden. i'll make some donations.
anna. thank you. the camera...well it says olympus on it...and it's digital.

I envy you because you have the consistency to create new works all the time. (I guess that probably has something to do with being in school) Ever since I graduated in May, I have had very little push to get out and 'create'.
I also love that you and gypsy have so many gorgeous sisters to photograph. The little ones are just adorable. I love hearing/reading about your life and family. Thanks!
thanks rachel. i actually just graduated too, but i'm trying to use my time making things. i'm really not good at doing because i base creating too much on my moods. right now i'm in a lull where i don't want to make anything.
