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.

One Main Place is a mixed-use skyscraper hotel and office building at 1201 Main Street in Dallas, Texas. The shadows remind me of a giant shadow box and form interesting patterns. This is two shots, merged with Photoshop. Minimal enhancements: just to bring out detail of the concrete and enhance contrast to highlight the patterns of the shadows.

Chapter 1 - Episode 1
Location: Urban Sector - Slums, World of Ruin
As Shadow remains silent behind the crumbling wall, a fierce Ogre prepares to make camp in the broken alleyway, not exactly the most ideal situation to be in at sundown. Shadow clutches his long rifle, trigger finger at the ready, the slightest misstep could alert the Ogre to his position. Ogre are brutish creatures known for their ferocity in battle and hatred for Wanderers. Shadow has been in worse situations before, he has more than once learned the value of patience. All that can be done now is to wait until the cover of darkness.
Aftermarket parts are from Brick Forge, Brick Arms, Amazing/United Armory, and Tiny Tactical.
Inspiration for Shadow's helmet goes to Flickr user ✠Andreas:

The shadows of two contrails on a distant cloud layer as seen in Sycamore Canyon, part of Arizona's Verde Valley. I couldn't remember ever seeing anything like this before.
I've been crawling on my belly
Clearing out what could've been.
I've been wallowing in my own confused
And insecure delusions
For a piece to cross me over
Or a word to guide me in.
I wanna feel the changes coming down.
I wanna know what I've been hiding in
My shadow.

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!

Week43 of Peter Forsgård's 52weekchallenge had the subject "Shadows". I tried to reproduce a photo which was credited to Viktoria German and published on a website which I discovered when searching for inspiration on the internet.
First problem was to find a tea bag with a string - not easy - but once found I played around with the position of a single light to produce shadows to suggest, "Is it there or is it not?". Eliminating everything but the shadows and tea cup proved very difficult as I wanted to get things right in camera and didn't want to crop anything or edit the photo other than apply the basic B&W conversion which Lightroom calls "Warm and Moody". The only crop was to get things level. An interesting assigment which I will go back to - I'm sure this picture can be improved upon.
The Amber Shadow has the same modular configuration as the Ellaria. By default the Amber Shadow consists of the forward section containing the bridge, bunks, refresher, reliquary, and the main corridor opening up to the boarding ramp. The mid section being a dual bay cargo hold, with extendable loading ramps, complete with a plethora of tools/maintenance equipment, weapons, secret storage compartments, as well as 2 Jetpack charging/upgrade stations. The rear section consists of a small cargo hold and engineering containing the 2 primary thrusters, as well as an additional boarding/cargo ramp. Each section of the Ellaria and Amber Shadow are interchangeable as needed.
Amber Shadow Loadout:
• A deployable heavy fighter, the Shadow Dart, equipped with quad laser cannons and two proton torpedoes. It can be controlled by the Amber Shadow when connected, adding to the ship’s firepower.
• Dual forward-facing 6-barreled gatling blaster cannons.
• Two shield projectors mounted on the forward wings.
• Four dual-barreled Point Defense Cannons (PDCs) atop the cargo hold doors.
• Deployable from a hatch below the bridge: 6-14 Spider-like infiltrator drones with micro boosters and a variety of tools for independent or coordinated operations. These drones stealthily infiltrate target ships to hack systems, disable external components, conduct reconnaissance, or neutralize targets with stun blasters when needed.

We all walk attached to a shadow. Some to a very long one...
