Photo: Shadows of love
Tweet
A dog’s love is true and sure, patient and clear — and everlasting.
Even stripped of color and dimension in a black-and-white photograph, the shadows of dogs and their human carries that depth of feeling — illuminating emotion and intimacy through the closeness of a body, the leaning in of a head, the perk of an ear.
Do you ever find that photos of shadows, or the backs of your pets carry more emotional impact?

Shadow photos are some of my favorites.
Mine too. I have a whole series of pictures I took during a trip to Israel, which is nothing but shadows: leaves, camels, architecture. I think the flatness of shadows allows more emotion to come through.
Beautiful. I love that all heads are turned towards you. That tells me that your dogs are very in tune with you (and you probably have a treat). That kind of connection takes work. Great photo on so many levels.
Thank you. That’s what I love about the photo: you can see the relationship of dogs and human, without actually seeing any of them.
Love this!
Aw. Thanks!
you all are together, shadows never lie :o)
Thank you! I think you’re right. There’s no room for pretense in the shadows. Unless you’re talking shadow puppets, and I know I’m not that talented. BOL.
That is a great picture. I love shadow play. ☺
Thank you!

Sometimes you don’t see the depth until after you take the picture.
What a beautiful photo! So full of love!
Thank you. I’m so glad the emotion comes through.
