On Denman

I was out to see the shadows and light on an afternoon. I liked the shapes of pedestrians reaching out from the sidewalk and into the quiet alley. At first I noticed my own, and stepped off to the side to take a few shots of others walking by.

Barns & Nobel Shadows

I headed crosstown the other day on a mission to Barnes & Nobel. The day was brilliant, and the sun was just about overhead - not normally a great time for photos.

But when I saw the pattern of shadows on the stairs, I thought it might make a good background for some people in an HCB-like setting. I took several as people came and went - this is my favorite of the bunch.

Long, late afternoon shadows at Crissy Field.

Morning Shadows

Early morning, bright light, mini-blinds, nice vase, spiky plant.

A good recipe for a nice image. Worth getting up off the living room sofa and retrieving my camera for.

I especially like the sort of Z-shape the shadows make on the wall behind the vase.
