Self Portrait 3: Shadow Self



"Methinks that what they call my shadow here on earth is my true substance. Methinks that in looking at things spiritual, we are too much like oysters observing the sun through the water, and thinking that thick water the thinnest of air." Herman Melville

I like shadow portraits...they hide all the wrinkles. : )

What a creative idea. Your creativity is blossoming, Susan. I wish I could say I understand Melville's quote, but...I don't!

I really like photos that have the photo-taker's shadow in them. I don't know why!

This is a great picture.

You know, I think I could recognize that shadow as you...maybe it's your aura :-).

Amp-you know about Aura's. What color do you see? ;-)

I see your aura as a swirling mixture of green and yellow.

Although I don't *know* much about auras, I do think I *see* them :-).
