find beauty not only in the thing itself but in the pattern of the shadows, the light and dark which that thing provides.

Forcing myself, again, to learn the beauty of the details. It's tough for me, as in my work, "The hell is in details ...".
I was playing around with my shadow this morning after shooting the sunrise over the Painted Hills. My shadow said I could put him in the picture if I don't show his face ; )

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.

The late afternoon sun shining through our lounge created this contrasting effect on our "Ficus Benjamina" plant. The shadow seems to mimic the plant twisting.

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:

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.
