my shadow

i couldn't resist it. yesterday when walking to the bus stop (i had 2 minutes to get there) to go to my office, i saw my shadow on the grass. i actually ignored and went past it because i wanted to catch that bus. but before i could cross the street, i decided to go back and take a couple of shots for the current vivian maier artist challenge.

in July 2018, i went to see an exhibition of Vivian Maier's photographs. it was a massive and extensive collection. https://365project.org/summerfield/365-still/2018-07-02 i even bought a book of her self-portraits. she has a shot similar to this which is also in colour and that's where i got the idea. it is not found in the website though. so the closest i can compare this is with this shot:

the lowdown on the artist challenge is here: https://365project.org/discuss/themes-competitions/48972/artists-challenge-begins

also for the current tag challenge. my tags were 'grass' and 'sky'. that should fit, methinks.

Well done Vikki! Way to nail two challenges with one photo.

Nicely done. Vivian Maier is a favourite of mine and you have really captured an element of her style here.

A good representation of the photographer's style.

Nice.
