Shadow Shot Sunday - Scanned Sunset Shadows


Shadow Shot Sunday returns...the fun of scanning old prints is in the memories, yet do I remember the event? Here in a shadowy sort of, I think I recall the what, where and when of this view. The place is in the passenger seat of a Subaru GL hardtop, the place on Interstate 90, Massachusetts Turnpike between Boston and Worcester, the time late in 1981 or early 1982. Either year, it would have been taken with a Canon 50mm rangefinder and most likely a roll of Kodak ASA100 film. Given all that, the sun just falling over the treeline is dramatic and the hint of shadow falls across the westbound lanes of asphalt as the sun sets. Although my exact memory is not so clear, the barely edited print itself is in reasonably good shape...see more shadowy views from any era at the always fun SSS2

Shadow Shot Sunday - Passenger Patti Portraits

Along Connecticut Route 15 - by Patti
Along I-95 in Southern New England
Shadow Shot Sunday 2 is back! The always lovely Patti is a fine passenger as we travel the highways/motorways to and fro. Naturally, the driver is probably best consumed with the mechanics of driving alone and not driving and taking pictures at the same time.
Somewhere urban/suburban in the Northeast
Thus, Patti handles the photo duties on the road. Of course, self portraits from the photo princess in the wing mirror are okay too. Here is a trio of takes, reflections and shadows appear on road. A lovely lady and photographer too! See more shadowy event at SSS2
