Different times and different actors, but the same question: "Who are you?"

  1. Nice!
    Shadows are the great equalizer, something that everyone has.

  2. Very nice shadow shots--I always love how your shadow changes depending on the angle of the sun. Those that make you look 10 feet tall are always fun. Who are you? Only you know for sure--and sometimes you don't even really know who you are. Have a lovely weekend. Mickie :)

  5. Wow! You could do a whole series (maybe two dozen or more shots) of the same scene with different actors. I'm impressed!


    I LOVE MY SHADOW

    I love my shadow,
    My shadow loves me;
    We chat together
    And don’t disagree!

    My shadow and I
    Prefer not to shout
    As we go walking
    And rambling about.

    My shadow’s so wise,
    I ask what she thinks;
    She’s happy to share,
    And then nods and winks.

    My shadow and I
    Are best buds, you see;
    That’s why we try hard
    To always agree!

  6. some days it is hard to remember...and the shadows we cast are maps to bring us home to find out.

  7. Under the sun, we seem to have our doubles in the form of a shadow. The shadows showcase the motion of the subjects, if not their moods. What we all see here is a beautiful day at the beach!

  8. Shadowy figures, lost in their thoughts. Nice captures.

  13. We can only imagine...and wonder about the stories they could tell of their day!
    Great shadow captures!

  14. Great photos! I wonder about the first one, does her shadow match herself? To me it looks like the shadow is asking her.. Amazing!

  15. very atmospheric shots - love them!!

  16. I don't know who the woman is, but the man is a worker on the roads, I think!

  17. Excellent photos, Tatjana. Very good question. A lot of people couldn't answer it beyond giving their names.

  18. hmmm...not a clue..first thought of Marilyn Monroe but she had a much trimmer figure...so, nope, no idea...on the first or the second.
    Wonder where you came up with these??

  20. Nice captures of walking people and their shadows. Who are they really?

    ReplyDelete

    ReplyDelete

    the woman reminds me a bit of Marilyn Monroe

    ReplyDelete
  24. You are the best at shadows and black and white!

    That lady is kind of funny walking on the beach in her dress and heels. Wonder where she came from and why?

    ReplyDelete
  25. A wonderful contrast in two different walks of life with their shadows as the defining element that pulls them together.
    Very nicely done!!

    ReplyDelete

  36. Great shots! I love that their posture is so similar...

    ReplyDelete
  37. The first one looks a little like Maryline Monroe !

    ReplyDelete
  38. Nice shadow shots! The first one is very Hollywood-esque. Looks like Marilyn Monroe walking there...and I'm sure she asked herself that very same "Who am I?" question. Happy Sunday!

    ReplyDelete
  39. They both seem to be deep in thought. The woman is striding quite purposefully, the man seems to be sauntering. Great shots! Do you know who they are?

    ReplyDelete

  46. We are not our shadows though sometimes we forget. Your artist eye scores another direct hit.

    ReplyDelete
  47. There is something about seeing your own shadow that is haunting and fascinating! Lovely photos!

  53. Interesting idea to capture different people at the same spot! Very cool.

    The lady is so dressed up while the man is so dressed down!

    Thanks for stopping by. ;-)

    ReplyDelete
  54. Cool shots. I love how the lady's shadow is holding her head like she might have a headache. Makes you wonder about the secret lives of shadows.

    ReplyDelete
  55. very beautiful and interesting photo's!

    ReplyDelete
  56. These two certainly look like they come from different walks of life. Nice shots to make you think!

    ReplyDelete
  57. i love the contrasts between the two "actors" but then we really are so much a like, all of us!

    ReplyDelete
  58. Those are fabulous-and what a great question to pair it with!

  60. Beautiful shots. I know you're posting a deeper question but that top photo looks like Marilyn Munroe (can't be I suppose if you took it) or Shelley Winters (who is now too old to look like that). I haven't the foggiest clue about the 2nd man. I tend to agree with Kay Davies, that most people wouldn't know the answer to the question you post. Very compelling post.

  65. Great pics, you have a way of telling stories with your photographs.

    ReplyDelete
  66. Interesting how we tend to look down as we walk. I often wonder about the lives of those I see walking in the street.

    ReplyDelete
  67. I noticed the same thing that many did, both figures, whoever they are, had their head cast downward. Maybe looking at their own shadows as they move and sway with the cadence of their steps. Very nice shadow shots.

    Peace
