Shoots and Ladders



I just love the way the shadow cascades beneath this ladder, and I thought it would be wonderful to paint someday, so I snapped this shot with my cell phone.

But it just so happens that Tracy has a blog called "Hey Harriet" that invites folks to submit their shadow shots. And although I am no photographer, I am not a poet either and that didn't stop me in my last post. So I shoots that ladder for Shadow Shot Sunday, and submits it for all to see!

  1. And it is a delightful shadow shot! I love it! It has dimension and color and it's fun -- which is the most important thing of all! Welcome to the fun, Dan!

    Enjoy!

  4. This is a cool shot! I'd be keen to see your painting of the image also once it's done! Thanks so much for joining in Shadow Shot Sunday.

    PS - You say you're no poet? Me either! I'm quite sure yours isn't as bad as mine :)

  13. Sorry to be so neglectful lately Dan; things have been hectic and I'm afraid the habits that I had developed were broken. I'm now trying to get back into my routine!

    I love the shadows here! And your last sketch was very very good! Sometimes it feels good to change up on materials! Stretching those creative muscles!!

  15. It was fun to steer a different way, and to have members of the Shadow Shot Sunday gang visit the blog. Thanks again, Tracy! I'll do it again I suspect - may even buy a camera someday. MMT - I love your haiku - thanks for that! And Raena - welcome back!
