day 51 - shadow wall



working that fake ring flash last time made me spend some time thinking about shadows. it got me mostly considering how i'm usually trying to minimize them or make them more manageable, but really they have great potential for use as graphic elements. i think i need to use them more consciously, instead of just looking at a picture and saying "oh, that shadow is terrible, change it....". wouldn't it be sweet to have a picture where the subject is incredibly boring, but the shadows are interesting?

i think the most interesting shadow in this picture is the one under my hat that makes me look like i have a widow's peak.
