Spider Girl and Shadow Man: Superheroes of the Playground

When they are around, the all the bullies and bad guys are kept at bay.

I was really drawn to the strong shadows of Clara and her pal Charlie playing at the park the other day.

Today is sunny and warm with a cool breeze. Absolutely perfect weather. We are having a good day. Hope that you all are doing well, too!

[Simply Amanda]

@jyokota Thank you so much, Junko. So wish I had been on the recent NYC excursion with you, Taffy and ME!! That would have been a blast!

[Junko Y]

@amandal -- I'm a new follower -- I really like your photography, and love your narratives. You would have had fun with us in NYC! I can't wait to go back. I love doing photowalks with others because I learn so much. We call out settings to each other, we look at what each other has captured, we give each other feedback, etc. I did a photowalk with Synke in Berlin, I do them with Taffy here in Chicago, and I went on a two week continuous one with M Vankrey in Japan in June. Let us know if you come to Chicago!

[Simply Amanda]

@jyokota I'm close to Chi town. I've gotta go sometime. I was born there, my parents met and married there...it's in my blood. I will let you know for sure. Thanks, Junko. I love your work, too:)!

[jenny tucker]

[Simply Amanda]

@sticksandstones Aw, thanks so much, Jenny. I was pretty pleased with how this one turned out...and the great response to it, too. Sometimes you really like something and it falls flat, but this was appreciated. You are sweet!

[jenny tucker]

@amandal no problem.....yeah....I know that feeling. It IS weird and a little disappointing when YOU really love a shot, but nobody else has that same feeling about it......
