A fresh from the dairy stick of butter gets buzzed by an outbound jet from O'Hare. The clean UP 8223 was on the rear of an inbound coal train waiting to get into Proviso Yard in the shadows of the airplane guide-path lights or whatever they are called.

Patterns of morning light and shadows on dunes, Death Valley National Park.
I made this photograph early in the morning. A small group of us arrived while it was still dark out, anticipating a walk of perhaps a half hour to get to the area we wanted to visit. Since we wanted to be in position well before dawn, we were set to start walking before there was enough light to see our objective. Someone asked, "Which way do we go?" I looked into the murk, couldn't really make out the dunes, and guessed, "That way! We'll correct course when the light arrives."
In the dunes you find yourself in a veritable photographer's laboratory of of shapes, juxtapositions, textures, and colors. And it is not static scene either when you are there very early or very late in the day — the light changes quickly. Dusk light lends brings softer light and lens a blue cast to the scene. When the sunlight first arrives there can be stark differences between brightly lit highlights and deeper shadows with cooler tones. Before long the colors began to fade and the scene can become more subtle or even nearly monochromatic. When I made this photograph, warm and color-saturated light was coming across the top of the dunes, but the light in the shadows, still mainly from open sky, was of a cooler blue color.

For this week’s Self Portrait Sunday theme ”Shadow and Light”.
Using slide film with medium format is gratifying, especially with 6x9, when one sees the images coming off the reel as large as life. Until recently, I'd forgotten how much I love seeing those images in real color, and how my brother and I used to take rolls of slide film and go downtown in Boston years and years ago, shooting with the used cameras we bought saving up our paper route money. While Portra and Ektar are great, my heart belongs to transparency film with all it's inherent limitations.

I liked the repetition here. I also like the play of threes. 3 awnings. 3 pairs of windows and 3 gray brick accent walls. But it was the strong shadows that initially caught my attention, so I did my best to frame this shot up with 3 complete shadows.

this light appears in my house for about a half hour; usually before noon. I feel lucky when I see it.
