“Our job is to record, each in his own way, this world of light and shadow and time that will never come again exactly as it is today.” – Edward Abbey

Today’s post is for a long-term collaborative photo project I am participating in with several other talented photographers whom I have come to know and admire over the past year.  This project concentrates on light and learning to master its many dynamic forms.  We spend several weeks at a time exploring a common overarching theme so we can really dig in deep, have fun, and take creative risks.  You can see my first photo for this project here.  Below is my latest take on this week’s theme, shadows.

This was taken on Foster Island in the Washington Park Arboretum, not far from my home in Seattle.  If you look carefully in the reflection in the back, you can see the new stadium being built for the University of Washington.

Next up in our blog circle is the lovely and talented Jessie Wixon. Please take a moment to check out Jessie’s creative play on shadows.
