Shadow Shot Sunday prompt #11
~
You made me take you
I didn't wanna do it
I didn't wanna do it
~
You made me take you
A shadow of my journey
A shadow of my lifetime
~
You made me claim you
A kind of other sculpture
A kind of other beauty
~
And could it really be
Another me
Or just
Me?
~
A few notes: That is me rugged up to the hilt! I have a black velvet, Beatle kind of cap on, a coat and jeans! And that thing you see sticking out at the side is an umbrella looped into my jeans so I have hands free for pics! I am ready for all weathers!

I measure out my life with haiku. My camera films my soul. ~ Gemma Wiseman

Gemma, that's a great photo of you! I love it! :)
Wonderful photo. I love your blog. great posts!
Your blog is beautiful! Thank you for visiting my SkyWatch post!
Gemma,
the shot is interesting. I have a semilar self portrait of myself, of my shadow and I thought it is ghostly, the "me" that is separated and yet connected to me.
Your poem fully express the thought and I share your sentiments of the other "You," which is you detached yet coneected.
I wish you well.

Step by step in this virtal world, and today, lo and behold me with you. Australia did not see far - the fact today is not nothing far. Your blog is excellent - You are a true artist written word,

This is one of those perfect shots! On the beach! Love this shadow shot, Gemma! Well done!

Picture of your shadow - good idea ..
I love the shadow with the beach as the background. The perspective is striking!
Looks like a chilly spot! Glad you're all rugged up Gemma! I like the sound of your black velvet Beatle cap, way fancier than my daggy beanies ;) Great photo & poem!
Good to see the sun down under, makes the cold not so cold.
