I'm a big fan of interesting shadow details within an image. A image that's all shadow, that can't work, right? I'd much rather be behind the lens instead of in front of it. GQ material I'm not !
I'm much more comfortable around animals then people, that's why I've included Phoebe in my self portrait here. I used a Canon 30D digital camera with a 28-135mm lens. Our shadows are cast onto the asphalt on a sunny warm day during one of our walks.
