Adrenaline kicking in as a shark suddenly appears whilst the fisherman haul in a big catch of sardines. Durban, South Africa. August 2010
This year at the auto show, I got bored taking pictures of cars, so I decided to undertake a little project: I would go up to the saleswomen--so obviously chosen for their abilities to lure men to cars--during their salespitches, point my Lomo LC-A at them, and wait for them to notice me. Once they did, I would snap the shutter and record their reaction to somebody so blatantly taking pictures of women, not cars.

She noticed me and struck a pose. I snapped her photo and walked away, feeling creepy once again.
Cloudy Evening Shark Attack
Now I know where the concept of “Sharknado”™ came from. Those fellow sufferers / enjoyers of Pareidolia as myself might see any number of anthropomorphic “things” in this late evening cloud. There are other “figures” hidden within the random chaos of the storm. You just have to get past the “looking” thing onto the “seeing” thing. Pretty much everyone can see shapes in random data but some of us have it “bad”. My habit is to look for images that will make interesting mosaics or mirrors. This less complex illusion just screamed shark at me so it’s image is immortalized now in the digital storage universe of the internet. 😜
Actually I note the color gradient from pure white clouds at the top down to orange on the bottom of the deck. This cloud is acting as a projection screen for the natural gradient that is in the sky as the horizon covers the sun. Light passing through hundreds of miles of atmosphere is red to orange in color. Light passing through high atmosphere is white (all colors). The top of the rising storm is bathed in light unfettered / unfiltered by the air we breath. The lowest part of the storm cloud, is reflecting filtered orange light. JUST below the cloud deck on the far right there is a cloud that is blue / dark. It is in the shadow of the earth.
Sunset you remember is actually horizon rise. It’s the world that is spinning to make that happen not the sun moving lol. In this image the sun had already set, twilight was shooting across the earths surface at 1000 miles per hour away from my lens looking to the east. The line of light and dark called the terminator. That line of night/day demarkation SCREAMING over our head twice a day.
