Weekly Photo Challenge: An Unusual POV (Point of View)
“Challenge yourself to rethink your ideas about what subjects are appropriate, and then challenge yourself again to find an unusual perspective on your subject. Go out and take photos and share a shot that reveals a new and different POV. You can take a picture of a familiar subject in a fresh way…”
Self Portrait in Shadows
“Is all that we see or seem but a dream within a dream?” ~ Edgar Allen Poe
This famous poem questions the way one can distinguish between reality and fantasy.
It dramatizes a confusion in watching the important things in life slip away.
Sometimes I think my real life is actually my dream life or my shadow life.
I know.
Nothing makes much sense this way.
But I like the idea of a self portrait in shadows!

Thanks Cathy! I was just clicking away for fun over breakfast, so the shadow portrait was not deliberate and I can’t take credit for having a great idea. I’m glad you think so though. 🙂 Thanks!

Thanks Cheryl! I am thinking of using the shadow portrait as my profile picture in various places – to travel incognito through cyberspace. 🙂

Only semi-intentional. I just noticed I looked pretty good in shadow under the eucalyptus leaves – better than in real life anyway! So I started clicking. 🙂

It reminds me of the old shadow pictures that people used to make by taking a piece of black paper and cutting out the facial outline.

Yes, yes, yes. Our “real” life just may be our “dream” life! So perhaps we can relax a bit more and not worry as much. And just settle in to watch it all fading in and out. Lovely post.

There was a photographic process in the 1800’s used for silhouettes. The shadow picture reminds me of that too.
