Whether you’re taking a selfie silhouette on the ground, capturing the lines and patterns on the walls while walking your city’s streets, or recording the subtle ways the light hits your subject’s face as she sits next to a window, these different types of shadows you see can add a complex, unexpected layer to your shot.

This week’s Daily Post Photo Challenge is SHADOW.
Self loves shadows. Shadows add so much mystery. Here’s what self means:

- Things like light, temperature, smell, sound, and sometimes taste, all work together to create ambience.

Back in Mendocino for Second Saturday, which was last night. Self didn’t get much sleep the night before, so the last 60 miles to the coast were harrowing. But she made it!

The Link to The City of 10,000 Buddhas

Self went to school with Shari Epstein, who teaches in the City of 10,000 Buddhas. She’s been wanting to see this place, forever and ever.
Last year, when self was staying at the Mendocino Art Center, she called The City of 10,000 Buddhas in Ukiah, and got the number of Shari, and Shari and self spoke!
Happiness!
But self never did make it to Ukiah. Because once you get into Mendocino itself, you enter a different state of mind. It’s like Brigadoon. Everything just floats away, so mesmerized are you by the sight of Ocean! Ocean! Ocean!
Since Rogue One is out, and self is planning to see it, and because she can’t stop worrying about Princess Leia and refuses to give 2016 the pleasure of even one more death, she is wondering whether she should really make one last effort to see Shari Epstein.
This morning, she calls The City of 10,000 Buddhas and is told that if she wants to enroll in a course on the Buddha mind, the course is three weeks. Starts January 8.
Self has known for the longest time that she needs a good mind cleanse. A three-week course on Dharma Buddhism might not be a bad thing.
Stay tuned, dear blog readers. Stay tuned.

“Look ahead! How will you make the most of this beautiful day?” — Krista, The Daily Post
Self is having trouble with this week’s prompt. For some reason self is so oriented to looking BACK (perhaps it’s the time of year?) that she can’t think how to represent (photographically) looking AHEAD. She doesn’t know how to project looking forward. Especially after the elections we just had.
Because she keeps moving around, EVERYTHING, but everything, is a NEW HORIZON. Which then also means (corollary): to someone who moves around constantly, what’s new is a cliché.

- I’ve always loved tiny versions of things: toys and collectibles, furry animals, even houses.
— Cheri Lucas Rowlands, The Daily Post
This week’s Daily Post Photo Challenge is TINY.
Last week, self saw a fabulous exhibit at the Asian Art Museum, on The Ramayana. Afterwards, she hung around on the front steps, taking pictures of the passing scene.
She loves how this whimsical sculpture of an animal of some kind seems to dwarf the passersby, making them look tiny.

Final picture: self’s print of La Llorona, which she bought last year from the Mendocino Art Center:
Self bought the print because it reminded her of The Hunger Games’ Katniss Everdeen.
Stay tuned, dear blog readers. Stay tuned.

Bought this small print from the Mendocino Art Gallery, winter 2015.
Self thinks it represents La Llorona, the Crying Woman.
That would be the Mexican version of the Irish banshee.
Stay tuned, dear blog readers. Stay tuned.
