    The limited gamut of tones a useful accentuation of the expression. The juxtaposed reality and unreality (subject and shadow) an impression of the mentality and physicality of our very being.

    This is disturbing cause you can see that he knows when the dark sets in, he’ll lose his shadow. Wonderful imagery, great job of processing. You SO rock.

    ... and hope the tooth is feeling better. Here’s an Italian cheek kiss to help it along X!

    Oh I remember the scary things that hid under the bed waiting for the lights to go out, hiding under my covers hoping I would not have to reach my feet over the edge of the bed during the night…this reminds me of my own scary childhood dreams…great shot Birgitta!!!!!!!!!!

  • Birgitta replied

    Amarica, you get what I was going for here. :)
    His reluctance. The shadows were supposed to suggest
    that idea, that every kid is hesitant to get under their covers
    because they dread the idea of being alone there..in the dark
    with an “under the bed” area. To this day, my son has his
    mattresses directly on the floor. Ha.
