Textured Light

I don't think sunlight actually has texture nor can you actually see it - sunlight texturizes the things it illuminates. Right?But, instead of talking philosophy and physics I would rather talk about this photo, which wouldn't exist if my mother-in-law hadn't pointed out the look of the sunlight streaming through open Venetian blinds onto the curtains in Evelyn's nursery at Alecia and Derek's house.Thanks, Glenyce. It's always good to have others help me see things. . .

Shadow and Light

Deb and I were strolling through a small side street in a village in Croatia, when I saw this vine, which wasn't all that exceptional. But what I liked was how the setting sun struck it is such a way to make enlongated and curving shadows. The texture and muted color of the wall helps this shot, too.

Shadow & Light

This was a decoration on the base of a public fountain in Arles, France. As I was getting this photo ready for posting, it occurred to me that I rarely go looking for "sun and shadow" photos because I am usually looking for soft light in shade. It is part of my style. Or rut.Arles is the city in which Van Gogh, one of my favorite artists, lived and worked for a while. Other artists besides Van Gogh worked in the south of France because of the light. The weather isn't bad, either.Canon 20D 1/100s f/7.1 ISO200 68mm
