It's been a long time since WALL-E saw his shadow, because the sun has not been seen for more than a few hours since October 2010!

captured on the streets of munich, this photo titled "shadows of lamps" plays with the duality of light and shadow. the old lanterns on the facade cast striking shadows on the wall, creating an intriguing pattern of light and dark. the row of lamps and their shadows adds a sense of order and symmetry to the scene, while the texture of the wall and sidewalk enriches the composition. this image captures the simple beauty of everyday life, showing how small details in the urban landscape can be artfully and humorously presented.
From my walk through Keyport a week ago Monday. Kiev II, Silberra 160 Color (shot at EI 100 because the last time I shot it at 160 it was underexposed), ECN-2 development. Shot for the Shitty Camera Challenge on Mastodon and Bluesky.
"WHAT?!" you ask. "YU-GI-OH??!?!? But I thought you were cool!"
Wait, wait, hear me out! Sometimes there can be something cool in, uh... well, yeah. Yu-Gi-Oh started out as a ripoff of Magic: The Gathering, and it does have occasional moments of good art... most of which has totally passed me by, since the SHadow Ghoul is one of about two or three cool monsters I actually know. I saw this little guy for sale years ago, and picked it up because it's a five-legged multi-eyed undead Lovecraft monster. You complaining about that? I've since looked up the card, and found that it gets stronger whenever an ally dies - so it eats their corpses, I guess?
Cool monster.
The other sides of me that are rarely seen but are often thought about, and goals of what I want to be always walk with me wherever I go.
We all walk attached to a shadow. Some to a very long one...

But soon we discover that no place will satisfy us, and no one person, no group of friends, can meet our needs. The oppressive boredom we had hoped to escape is lodged firmly within us, and we are in danger of becoming the winnowed chaff of Psalm 1, “driven away by the wind.” If we become the straw, we have no hope of gold.

I was having a slow day in the woods, so I used the subjects at hand. The snow was far too deep and soft for the tripod, so this was the closest that I came to taking a selfie.

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.
