Pablo Neruda
Sonnet XVII (100 Love Sonnets, 1960)
I don't love you as if you were the salt-rose, topaz
or arrow of carnations that propagate fire:
I love you as certain dark things are loved,
secretly, between the shadow and the soul.
I love you as the plant that doesn't bloom and carries
hidden within itself the light of those flowers,
and thanks to your love, darkly in my body
lives the dense fragrance that rises from the earth.
I love you without knowing how, or when, or from where,
I love you simply, without problems or pride:
I love you in this way because I don't know any other way of loving
but this, in which there is no I or you,
so intimate that your hand upon my chest is my hand,
so intimate that when I fall asleep it is your eyes that close.
I stayed home from work, headachy and tired-feeling. Maybe too much sun on the weekend? But anyway, it allowed Jeff & me to check out the eclipse— Vancouver wasn't in the path of total coverage, but still almost 90%! We didn't have eclipse glasses so we did the trick of bringing out a colander to check out the pinhole shadows. Pretty cool.
Did a bunch of editing in the afternoon, made linguine puttanesca for dinner, and went to yin in the evening. I almost lost it in there because for some reason the 'hot ham water' bit from Arrested Development popped into my head. 233/365.
Character is like a tree and reputation like a shadow. The shadow is what we think of it; the tree is the real thing.
The colours of the picture are edited. But the shadow isn't. I was playing with my light and then I got this result.

Lighting Essentials Workshop.
Shot in full sun, which was giving f/16 @ 1/200 (the f/16 rule). The speedlights were set to give an exposure of f/22 to overpower the sun and I synch'd at 1/160 with Cactus triggers. Three lights: one in front of the model, illuminating her face, one to camera left and one to camera right.
Photoshop: I opened this image in ACR and "yikes!" all the shadows were clipped to black. So I set about bringing up the exposure...then it dawned on me: we deliberately set this shot up to drop out the background. So I left the exposure alone and let the background fall out. Contrast adjustment with curves, some skin smoothing and blemish removal. Light sharpening.

This is part of a 40-yard walkway, with Ionic columns on either side and a series of parallel wood beams above. Shortly after noon, I captured the shadow cast by the beams. I briefly considered cropping out the columns and vertical shadow on the right side, but decided to leave them in. The result of this effort should definitely be an eye-catcher!
