This is week #08 and the theme is Shadow or Shadows. Yes week 8 and I'm still struggling with the weather and work! We've had a big storm but little sunshine and lots of rain. For shadows one needs light and for me I prefer sunlight but whenever its been available this week I've been unable to take advantage of it. Plan 'b' involved finding something indoors to create a shadow. Here I used some reeds that had been woven together and shone a light through from different angles this is the one I liked best. I think it looks a bit like a person with a crown!
Changed my mind this is now my alternate shot!

Shadows and light have fascinated me for as long as I can remember, even as a child. So it isn't surprising that Paul Strand's photography excites and exhilarates me! Strand was one of the defining masters of early American modernist photography. He was also influenced by Edward Weston and Alfred Stieglitz.
I could have chosen many of my recent photos for this exercise on shadow and light, but I chose this one because it is different and I like the surreal feeling it has.
This was taken on an outside terrace. When I looked up, I could see big slabs of plain concrete above my head, but what really grabbed me were the shadows from the out of sight, striped canvas awning creating shadow stripes on the concrete as if they had been painted there. I could have cropped this, but just loved the reflection of the inside lights reflected on the big glass front - like other-worldly dots of energy seemingly floating in the sky!
This image empowers me and yet also allows me to dream! Leaving it in colour, gives a certain lightness to it, thanks to the space of light blue sky

Last day of the month and my picture is here! The theme this time was “Svartvitt” (Black and white).
I knew right from the start that I wanted to take the opportunity this month to play with shadows. Black and white shadow images are the best!
I actually have my fiancé to thank for the picture, it was his idea o use plastic leaves to create a cool shadow. And it turned out absolutely lovely if I do say so myself.

For this week’s Self Portrait Sunday theme ”Shadow and Light”.
Winding pathways and empty benches are lost in thick morning mist. The deserted park is bathed in an ethereal, melancholic light. A mysterious stillness hangs over the cold, grey scenery.
