| "Sun Shadow Signs No. 1" 2018 |
Summer light in Southern California is so beautiful in the late morning, before the heat takes over the day. You can feel the sun begin to turn its intensity on but are not yet quite affected by their overpowering rays. Late morning is also the perfect time to catch shadows cast at a 45 degree angle, just before they disappear altogether at high noon.
Strolling around, looking for inspiration, I began to notice the shapes various stop signs, traffic lights and parking placards were making against the concrete and crosswalks below. Cracks in the sidewalk fascinated me with their random, river-like structures. I concentrated on the interplay between the shadows as they played over the utilitarian patterns etched into the concrete.
We often walk around without really looking, too busy to get where we are going. It's when we slow down for just a moment to observe what's around us to enjoy what is right before our eyes, the place where life really lives.
