Shadow Shot Sunday, Poetic Shutterbug, August 15, 2010
For once, it was a bright sunny day in San Francisco, and my friend, Joanne Olivieri
( the famous blogster, Poetic Shutterbug ) and I were in Washington Square, cameras
in hand, en route to hear our friend and jazz diva, Sony Holland perform. We fit right in
with all the summer tourists as we began snapping away at all the famous landmarks
in sight. I just couldn't resist getting this picture of Jo's shadow on the ground! I've
been spending a good bit of time with her lately, in search of photos for our respective
blogs and I see as much of her with her camera in front of her face as I do otherwise.
It's almost as though we are on a scavenger hunt when we're out. I'll see something and
yell, "Oh, I have to get that for my Mellow Yellow meme" and off she'll go, muttering, "I
need something for "Camera Critters". I am sure people wonder if we've forgotten our
medications.

When I went to SF in 1977, my aunt told me I must go to UCBerkeley. She told me it was the palce of the flower people. I bought two beaded necklace, to remind me of it. Your shadow looks like A FLOWER PERSON WITH A BAG LIKE THAT,
ReplyDeleteCarmen, are you sure that your email is functional?? I've sent you two emails to date!!
ReplyDeleteI wanted to let you know, that right now, I am in the process of moving back home to the States. And when I get there and am settled in, I will purchase your book. :)
I was saying in my email, how I think it's funny that when my book came out, you were in the process of moving, and now that your book has come out, I am in the process of moving! :)
Maybe we could meet each other and hang out! I'm sure there is a lot I can learn from you, and I love to learn from people! :)
Lovingly,
C

ReplyDelete"forgotten our medications" - that is really funny! Keep it up, please!
ReplyDeleteHi Carmen, Who cares what people think? I get strange looks when I take pictures of birds! Some folks just dont do hobbies but I know who stays sane.
ReplyDeleteGreat shadow shot for the day! I think all of us have become addicted to shadows! But it is fun! Hope you have a great week!

HaHaHa!!! I cannot stop laughing. Just to let everyone know, my behind is not that large. You are seeing my purse which makes it look bigger. Great shot, Carmen. I'll get revenge tomorrow with the Chinatown shots :D
