Shadow Shot Sunday / SOOC - Olympics by day

Swim stadium, USC, L.A., August 1984
The past is back at Shadow Shot Sunday 2 - and given the amount of prints from the past scanned, I revert to August 1984 and the Olympics held in Los Angeles. This is the swimming venue is on the campus of USC. This print was buried in a box and in good shape for scanning and as it appears a nice day in the LA basin - not too hot, nor humid and kind of smog free. If only winter in the Northeast US were this nice, sunny and shadowy...

As I have not edited this old print (save for cropping it), I am also adding it to the new SOOC Sunday (Straight out of the Camera), hosted by MMT and Gemma. I like multitasking...

Shadow Shot Sunday - Tuesday Concert in Derby

Shadowy singer and saxophonist 
Shadow Shot Sunday 2 is back - we eagerly looks for shadows to fall and drape themselves over as many appropriate shadows as possible - and we are able to find and harvest when found...The time was last week, and the place was nearby Derby on the city green by the gazebo for the free summer concerts. Today the really fun act 'Dr Ya Ya's Dirty Rice Revue', Connecticut musicians that play songs by New Orleans artists and songwriters (we know by tune if not title)


Well defined early evening lighting
This was not just a warm and humid evening of a highly energetic and fun music (an improvisational R&B) on a small town green, there were also late afternoon shadows all over the pavilion and band...what better than this for (1) free and (2) SSS2?















This old song was played by Dr YaYa in a similar raucous style: Sea Cruise, by NOLA songwriter Huey 'Piano' Smith and artist Frankie Ford
