Shadows... Light...
Both sides...
"I`ve looked at love from both sides now
From give and take, and still somehow
It`s love`s illusions I recall
I really don`t know love at all
Tears and fears and feeling proud
To say "I love you" right out loud
Dreams and schemes and circus crowds
I`ve looked at life that way
But now old friends are acting strange
They shake their heads, they say I`ve changed
Well something`s lost, but something`s gained
In living every day..."
(Both sides now - Joni Mitchell)
Para ver e ouvir Joni Mitchell...
Usually we attach the appearance of shadows to Opacity, but transparency can also give birth to shadows (That's why we call it Trans-PARENT)

בדרך כלל אנו מייחסים את התופעה של צל לדברים אטומים, אבל גם דברים שקופים יכולים להוליד צללים
Mark ‘Spoonman’ Petrakis and I are developing a shadow puppet show we call ‘Ubu’s Dreams’.
This short series of sketches stars Père Ubu, the hero of french poet Alfred Jarry’s surreal plays. In this show, Ubu is constantly dreaming, playing with archetypal characters from our collective unconscious.
For this project, we are creating a variety of wooden figures with a laser cutter: big faces, music notes, dancers, trees and graveyards, to name but a few. We then tape our puppets on wooden sticks, and wave them across the stage to bring them to life, with a projector over our heads.
We plan to continue this experiment through the summer and perform a first puppet show during our Dada exhibit at the Canessa Gallery in North Beach, from Nov. 3 to 12, 2016.
I also plan to use some of these techniques with our lower and middle school students, for the Maker Art courses I will be teaching this fall.
From shadow puppets to poetic robots, these interactive storytelling experiments have the potential to engage us at a deeper level and help us learn more about ourselves.

Taken specially for the shadow assignment in Group Learning for Photography. I'm not having much luck with this assignment, I keep looking for interesting shadows but so far nothing is working out. So yesterday evening I tried a few shots of myself and Taivas, I quite like how I've been able to get Taivas and her shadow in - thanks to my new wide angle lens.
I am sometimes quite surprised how easy it can be to transform. OK I am a stage of life when I need help (desperately) with hair. But this image is just a white shirt (button on the correct side of course) a pair of leggings and a bit of makeup to hide my lines and shadow.
For those T-voyeurs wondering if you can do it.... yes you can

This shadow is from one of a group of 11 "soldier lights" that encircle the War Memorial Cenotaph at Victory Square Park. It was part of a redevelopement project that was completed in 2004. The light fixtures are designed to resemble the shape of the steel helmets worn in WWI.

Thought I'd take a few with the least number of glass elements between the subject and sensor. First try, was with a Spectra Duo-Focus from the 1950s.
