Made over the Namib desert in Namibia, I shot the shape of our helicoptor against the characteristic red sand dunes. The 2 dimensional shadow became the subject on a 3 dimensional backdrop. Because of the strong desert sun, the shape of our helicoptor is crisp and contrasts with the background.

These two images are simply about shape. Strong side light made the shadow of this fork graphic and distorted. This image was made in my studio on a day I just felt like playing with shadows and shapes. (Canon 1-D Mark II, Canon 50mm lens, 1/125 sec @ f 16, ISO 200)

Finally, I thought I would include this image made at the Salentein winery in Mendoza, Argentina. I was drawn to the shadow of the wine glass as the wine taster swirled the wine in the glass. Why, this was a shadow with COLOR! I took this shot a step further by converting it to black and white to accentuate the shape of the wine glass shadow and then I colorized the ruby red 'shadow.'
