It is fascinating how shadows willingly lend themselves to creative and artistic interpretation. For instance, the shadows in the above photo make the books on the shelf almost look like loop binders, which could be a whole other story. Shadows can evoke emotions and add a sense of mystery to a piece or provide a reference and structure for objects perhaps unseen or not in the frame in photos. They are powerful but serve the light, for without light, they cease to have structure. As your poetic words describe, Monte, something deeper is often hidden in the shadows! 😉
Have a great day!

I have a lrge number of images with the tag “shadows” and that is only for those images I’ve kept. I like how you suggest they lend themselves to creative and artistic interpretation. I agree! Shadows evoke something within me and are so easy for me to spot. And, I find it fascinating to see within myself that there is something deeper hidden in my shadows, the dark places. I’m learning to shine light on my shadows. Thank you, my friend!!!! Always eager to read what input you have to share.

Thanks again, Geri! And yes our friend, Earl, can sometimes put it in just the right words. I enjoy having his comments. Also thought provoking at times.
