Reflections, Projections and Shadows

Sometimes light makes a picture on a wall, or table, or ceiling, because it passed through, or didn't pass through, some object or substance. Sometimes it's water, or a treebranch in the wind, and the image has motion. Sometimes it's through a tinted window or a prism, and the image has colors.

Some things are shadows, and some are projections, and some are combinations.

This first one is my shadow, and the frames of the windowpanes in the front door, falling on a map of the U.S., at Emily Schnarr's house in Bryn Athyn, Pennsylvania.

"Objects in mirror…" message reflected or projected? Some and some?


This one is a blue plastic pitcher sitting behind a cloth screen, with low winter sunlight coming through both.
