Photowalk [5:15am]


This image finally loaded. It is from my walk to the gym at 5:15am. There is no sunlight, but lots of artificial light. The shadows seem more rigid here than with the sun shadows, but that just maybe because the sun gives a different tone to the images when compared to artificial light.

Light [Sun and Shadows]


Here the light was playing on the back of this sign, the constant shuffle of the shadows because of the wind changed the image. I could not get the same image twice if I tried.

Photowalk [The Moon]


I went on a walk later in the evening and took a picture of the moon, the only light source at the time.

The Body [Tattoo]



My sister recently had this tattoo done. When looking at it, unlike in the Russian jails, people do not initially understand what the tattoo means. This is an image that is of her own design, and it meaning really only known to her until disclosed.

Tattoos are becoming more a part of self-expression than a telling of the wearer's life story, even in the Russian criminal system. My sister's tattoo is of her astrological sign: Libra (the Scales).

The tattoo is like a self-portrait using the skin as the canvas or film, whether in the past or in modern times.

Perspective [Looking at Shadows]



I was looking down, while filling up my truck and I saw the shadows of the ladders beside these gas tanks and how they seem to grow out of the giant shadow at the foot of the tanks.
