shadow puppet

I made two shots of this wall; I didn’t care for the first one because it had a person’s shadow on it.

Turns out, I was wrong and could have stopped with the original image, because it was more interesting.

I suppose that normal people think about White Sands and think about, you know, the white sand.

But these picnic shelters always come to mind: I can remember these exact shapes from my childhood visits to the dunes and I’ve seen vintage photos of them fairly often. Their shapes remind me of the gentle slopes of the dunes, which are of course constantly shifting, but still keep their sinuous shapes.

Shadow Line

Well, who could resist these spring-like shadows on a rough stucco wall? Not me, obviously.
