Red against a night sky.



A dynamite combination.

It was a metal logo for a business in downtown Seattle. If I remember right, it was some kind of graphic design firm. . . . would make sense, no?

I'm glad you explained the photo, Meri. Otherwise, I would have been in the dark (so to speak)>

I ONCE HAD A SHADOW

I once had a shadow—or did she have me?
My shadow and I could never agree.
I would say something, she’d say the reverse;
Our arguments flared, my lips I would purse,
Refusing to speak to her anymore—
So my shadow got up and marched out the door!
I have not seen her from that day to this—
That’s one stubborn shadow I surely don’t miss!

Wow....if we just took the time to 'look up'...and see what we are missing. Brilliant. Both in color and subject.

Vintage 1930's Basketball Team is my Shadow Shot today. Do stop by if you can find time.

Happy Sunday!!!

Sepia Saturday: John Grabill, Wounded Knee, and Plenty Horses

It always amazes me to see photographs taken more than a hundred years ago. And it makes me feel like a little part of a longstanding tradition, capturing moments in time via camera. Of course I don't have to haul around big cameras with heavy plates or worry about the harmful chemicals,  just tripods and spare batteries and extra memory cards. But once upon a time, a man named  John C. H. Grabill (1866 - 1934) made his way around the American West -  circa the late 1880s to the mid-1890s  and took photographs of a way of life that's disappeared. He sent a portfolio of images to Washington, D.C. to obtain copyright protection for his works. And then he seemed to disappear into the landscape. But because he copyrighted those works, way back then, the Library of Congress has made them available to photography aficionados everywhere.
