Ever since I first met Susy, she'd been telling me about Galena, a town she loves more than any other. We'd meant to visit now and again, but never managed to make it till now. It didn't take long for me to realize the appeal, with all these hillside streets and sleepy brick buildings, heaving under their weight. Past the busy evening traffic, crowded in on Friday night, you'd be forgiven for forgetting it's a shadow of itself. Nestled deep in northwestern Illinois, not far from the Mississippi, a city once significant as Chicago. The high water population of 14,000 is closer to 3,000 these days, buildings housing more stores and restaurants than actual residents. We stayed at the DeSoto, an 1855 hotel with tilted floors and a gratitude for survival after several decades abandoned in the mid-20th century. We watched out the window while the streets emptied out, slowly settling down to darkness. Even now, the orange street lights and warm brick faces push past a bluing night. Some kind of sighing resistance, while the early autumn evening takes hold. It's a very good time to not be alone.

Window And Shadows. New York City. July 3, 2017. © Copyright 2017 G Dan Mitchell - all rights reserved.
Afternoon light forms shadows behind a window at the Whitney Museum, New York City
This photograph was made near a window on one of the upper floors of the New Whitney Museum in Manhattan. At the west end of the upper floors, near the end of the main corridors outside the gallery, there are small windows that overlook the Hudson River and New Jersey in the distance. At some point on every visit to the Whitney I find myself standing next to one of these windows overlooking this view and trying to make photographs. (I have my rituals — I also go out onto the various terraces and platforms outside the east side of the building and photograph Manhattan and people.)
I don't think it is a secret that I'm attracted to patterns and shapes, and the angles of shadows cast by light coming through windows often interests me. I only partly see a subject like this as what it objectively is — I'm more likely to think of it simply as light and shadow and texture and shape.

This was a very difficult look for me to get overall, but I'm very pleased with the outcome. Going for a "Sin City" graphic novel look.

Fire Escape, Shadows. San Francisco, California. September 5, 2015. © Copyright 2015 G Dan Mitchell - all rights reserved.
Shadows from a fire escape fall across the front of a San Francisco building
I made this photograph late in the day back in early September, on a street photography shoot with a group of like-minded folks in San Francisco. We met in the late afternoon, wandered about for a while in the beautiful late-day light, then broke for dinner before going back out to photograph after dark.
One one hand, you could probably find a similar scene in many other cities. On the other hand, it also evokes the architecture of San Francisco, where buildings are packed tightly together, often with seemingly little regard for their aesthetic appearance when viewed from the street — with the result being very utilitarian facades, often featuring metal gates, fire escapes, and sometimes a worn and weathered appearance. This street runs almost directly east-west, so late in the day the sunlight was falling across the front of the building at a low angle and casting strong shadows.
