People Shadows in Japan

Last Monday, we had lunch at a Thai restaurant and then watched a movie. Later, we hit a Japanese Soba restaurant for dinner. I enjoyed not having to cook at all. Granted I only cook five meals a week for us, so I can't complain. Let's just say it was nice to eat food that I don't usually eat at home.

As my husband and I were waiting for the train, I caught this shadow shot.

What great shadow shot. Isn't it funny how we are always catching shadows? And to think, I never thought about them before.
Happy SSS.

I really love this shot! We do find them in odd places sometimes. So often I hate myself for not having my camera with me. I'm glad you had yours for this one.
Sylvia K said…
Bobbie and I always seem to be in agreement! This is a terrific shot! And like Bobbie, I hate myself for not having my camera with me wherever I am. Have a great day!

I love it and all the other shadow shots you have posted, makes you think about things you ordinarily wouldn't.

It's a great picture! I think shadow shots of people work really well - they don't realise they are being photographed, don't feel threatened and voila - a fabulous snapshot like this!

The man in the middle,.... was he looking at a cell phone?

Nothing can stop the observation of the obvious...now that we are all hooked on SSS...we are really viewing the reality of life, not just what we think we see in the moment

Have a yummy weekend you lucky girl!.

Hi everyone:) Thanks for stopping by.

Shannon, yes, the middle guy is on his phone.

Jacqui, this was my attempt at catching someone else shadow. Will have to do it again.

Rosebud, I like how looking for shadows encourages me to have a different perspective.

These are awesome shadows!!! I love how you've captured a little slice of the ordinary so beautifully and turned it into magic!

Sounds like you had a very enjoyable Monday! :D

That's a pretty neat shadow shot. I like seeing your shadow as the photographer in there too.
Great shadow shot! Love how everyone is doing their own thing.

Love your candid shadow shot. Very natural. I wonder what people would think if you went up and asked them 'can I take your shadow?'
Poetic Artist said…
I do love that shadow shot.. Nice looking family...Is it not nice to go out and enjoy a meal instead of cooking..

Blue-eyed Siamese Cat flies to Japan

Today was filled with my art and time with Sputnik. She was bathing herself which gave me the chance to catch a photo of her. I actually adopted Sputnik as a kitten in 1998 when I was living in Mexico. She made the long trip with me to Japan on July 25, 2004. It took me about 6 months to plan the logistics of bringing her from Mexico to Japan. Since I had to fly via the U.S. on Mexicana Airlines and Korean Airlines, that meant 4 countries and two airlines would need to approve her transport. There were many details to keep track of for each country and airline. After 6 months of stressful planning, 16 hours of two airline flights and layovers, She made it to Japan safely! Korean Air allowed her to fly with me as my carry-on luggage, which was a relief for me. No worrying about whether she was scared or left at the Los Angeles airport! I didn't give her any tranquilizer to sedate her. Yet, she was quiet the entire flight and went unnoticed by other passengers. I h
