just lovely Grant -- love the play w/ space / volume here as the shadow bends over the large box... feels 3-D... i love how shadows can imitate depth. wonderful blacks here too -- of course! beautiful light! ;)

the boxes he found
in the kitchen were fine
as long as he stays out of the shadow wine...

@ordinaryimages: jerry, that's pretty good.

dan from Paris, France

The shadows exist only by the light.

@dan: exactly. this house is a good one for interesting light. at least i think so. thanks for looking and commenting dan.

Polydactyle from Montréal, Canada

Again, very nice b/w. Very good idea (shadows on box).

@Polydactyle: and thanks again - i appreciate it.

daina from United States

Like how the shadow curves with the angle of the box and the numbers are a terrific design element - very nice...

@daina: thanks daina. i agree about the numbers.

Neat shot of the boxes, and also the light boxes on the boxes.

I love it that what is in the image seems like 3 wine bottles and what to me looks like the shadow of a cat.

@Rags: thank you kanyi. you're exactly right about the shadows.

Marcie from United States

Love how you focused on and captured the shadows. Excellent!

NILLA from Sweden

Nice!
Sorry for not comment before now, I´d been away at a travel.
What do you have inside in these boxes?

24 Aug 2008 4:29pm

@NILLA: no problem. hope you had a good time. the boxes were completely empty.

I love the shadows on the wall...the feel of the film grain.
Your images just send shivers down my spine, or memories that I never had.

@bluechameleon: i love that comment - "memories that i never had" - thanks

Tilala from Bordeaux, France

Lights and shadows. A mysterious atmosphere !

@Tilala: there is a mystery to my kitchen - no food ever comes out of it!

Howard F. from South Pasadena, Calif., United States

To add what Tilala said- more mysterious is the content of the box?!? What's inside?

25 Aug 2008 4:51pm

@Howard F.: i wish the answer was more interesting - empty...they sat around until we decided we couldn't, wouldn't find a use for them.

lisa v from Gawler, Australia

This is the sort of image that people who are'nt artistic don't 'see'...like you would have been standing there and turned around and seen those shadows and been mesmorised and ran for the camera...but if you said to an unartistic person standing next to you 'look' they would'nt see.

@lisa v: that's really nice of you to say lisa. the flip side of that is something i imagine you've experienced - the photographer as freak show (maybe i'm exaggerating) - people staring, wondering why you would possible want to take a picture of THAT.
