Where light and shadow fall on your subject – that is the essence of expression and art through photography.

Shadows always pull my attention to a specific point in an image. Shadows primarily hide features that may be better left unseen or slightly hidden. They for sure add a hint of drama, emotion, or mystery to an image. A bright sunny morning was perfect for providing these shadows on my front porch.
Okay, this is a second post today and a test for me. I decided to delete all the subscriptions I had because many of the over 1,000 subscriptions were nothing but duplications. Wanted to see this cleaned up and start from scratch. So, when you post a comment and subscribe again, on this post or the previous, it will ask you to re-enter your name, email, website, your bank routing number, and your checking and savings numbers. (I’m retired and on a fixed income) 😂 Thanks!

Each day has something new to offer us. Call it a mystery if you want, we just have to look.
This past summer Tom and Kathy Dills from North Carolina visited and I was able to spend some time with them out in the field shooting both photos and the breeze. We made a couple trips to the mountains for the aspen tree colors. We also took photo opportunities in the afternoon and evening along the front range. This is from one those outings. I think we finished the evening off with Thai food, like any good photographer would do.

This image is also from 2010 while on an overnight in Richmond. It really is a busy image. But it brings up a memory for me from just one word in the image. I’ll always remember when my granddaughter told me her favorite ice cream flavor was red. No need to argue with her. 🙂
