In the shadows

Posted by Calvy/Abhi (Despo Ville, India) on 13 February 2009 in People & Portrait and Portfolio.

Shadows are dark but there's nothing really dark about them...
they are just a reminiscence that far away someone is basking in the light.

"I've been searching
I've been living
For tomorrows all my life
....in the shadows"
-Rasmus

I also blog at Dog with the Blog

"..these snapshots are their little stands against the flow of time.
The shutter is clicked, the flash goes off, and they've stopped time,
if just for the blink of an eye."

Nishana Minhaz from Calicut / Kochi, India

I like the way you have executed this.. Also the post processing which gives it an air of mystery..
'In the shadows' used to be a permanent fixture in my playlists once upon a time :)
