Our Silver Image group did shadows several months ago. There were plenty of good subjects here on the top of Queen Anne. Lovely tree shadow there. Heroique.

The city took down the tree. Imagine my grief on this day. Apparently, someone thought it wasn’t rooted well enough, and might fall on people who gathered under its magnificent summer shade. (I took these photos only weeks after the winter-shadow shot, with a Nikon FM3a camera and 35mm f/2 AIS lens.)

People are always doing dumb-ass things in the name of safety. Time for more recklessness, I say.

(Of course we must abolish civil suit lawyers first).

Looks like you're holding a child's hand near a cliff.

Here’s a Red Oak (I mean its shadow) on a sunny winter day in my Seattle neighborhood.

I’m hiding with my back up against the tree.

The type 55 was being kind – it preserved a little detail in the harsh shadow!

This always looked human to me. If you think so too, what gesture do you see?
