About Love hanging washing out in the sun, but only just noticed the shadow of the clothes line on the wall!

Leaving storm

Leaving misty mountains

Daynight flight

Leave me sunbathe horsey!

Time always leaves

Leave the cross

Leaves Dust

Leave our reflections

A minor loss

Leaving work behind

Michele Carlsen   {K:143690} 2/9/2007
Deep and thoughtful emotions shown here as objects.... is quite interesting. 'Love' being the 'textured and now clean sort of faded fabric' obviously touched several times and ways but not entirely. The deep dark shadow of the clothes line weighs it even more instead of lifting love to blow in the wind more freely......
This is how I read this and see the image Mary... I wish it sounded a bit more happy:)) Maybe You can set ME straight ..ha!
I do think this has sort of a dark tone to it... but I rate it a 7++for the deep thought it provoked in me...

Best Wishes,
Michele~

Thanks for sharing,
Michele~

Jan Hoffman   {K:39467} 2/11/2007
Mary -- Finding beauty and grace in every day objects is a talent you surely have. This is wonderful. The textured wall looks like pie crust and the shadow looks like the top of a block & tackle. Wonderful!
--Best to you, Jan

Glad you liked the picture and words Engy- many thanks.

The Pilgrim   {K:35736} 2/14/2007
Awsome work Mary!!!! Its very strange us taking shadow photos at the same time! I was shooting the shadow on the ceiling the other the other day.
I still have to process it and maybe Ill stick it up. Its not near as good as yours! Great details and stunning definition to the shadow. Great textures in the surface. I just love the warm tones! Great words!!!
Love it Mary!!!!!

High Congrats!!!

Much love

Paul


Mary Slade   {K:40918} 2/15/2007
Glad you liked the clothes line Paul! I'm only just starting to notice shadows- usually couldn't stop looking at the sun! And you too getting shadowed- I must go and investigate. As long as real life ain't a shadow we're on a winner! Many thanks Paul.


Maurizio Ubaldini   {K:1479} 2/16/2007

elizabeth Blair   {K:2202} 2/18/2007
Wow that is pretty cool. I looked at it to see what it was before reading what you wrote. It almost looks like a dried up lake bed or river... so cool!! Great work capturing the everyday that no one sees....Great work with shadows... all around wonderful!!

Pleased you liked the shadow- thanks Jacques.

well cropped. Really created a figure here!


Mary Slade   {K:40918} 3/3/2007
Thanks Ian- glad you liked the clothes line!


Joggie van Staden   {K:41676} 3/14/2007
Very interesting abstract Mary and I believe various interpretations to it. What struck me was the starkness of the shadow against the flowing textures and tones of the wall. The hook looks ominous and the objects hooked by it seem helpless, unable to unhook themselves - need an outside force/influence to unhook them and change their fate - for better or worse! Thanks for the prodding of the gray cells!
Joggie


Mary Slade   {K:40918} 3/14/2007
And many thanks for making me see and think more Joggie- that's the bit I enjoy!


mahassa bahri   {K:10958} 6/11/2007
