Out of the shadows and into the light

I think of shadows like negative space in art, sometimes just as important as the subject in a painting or photograph.  The trick is to see them and it was not as easy as I thought it would be.  Silhouettes are the subject as shadow, making the shape or outline more important than details.  I had silhouettes made of my children when they were young, as my mother did for my sister and me, and they are among my most prized possessions!

In the red

I have been in the red, lately; a deficit, as far as picture taking goes, but I am trying to catch up and pictures of 'red' are my first, belated post!
