I often find that i lose myself chasing shadows. With "lose myself" i mean forget about myself. My issues, assumptions and preoccupations. Looking at shadows i feel i dissolve. Evaporate. My feet lift from the ground. I become light. And light. There is a book of old photographs out there somewhere about people who took pictures of other people, but then, unintentionally, included their shadows in the framing. The mistake turned out to be quite a success. I would also like to publish a book about shadows one day. Obviously a little different than that one though. Almost like the one above. Except my shadow shouldnt be in there. A friend of mine August takes pictures of his shadow at significant places and spaces. He calls them self portraits. Think I took this picture to remember that i was at a shoot. I love being on set - for any stills or audio visual story. Apparantly photography means painting with light. One day hopefully i will be able to paint with light. But at the moment painting with shadows will have to do.
