El Cazador De Suenos

It's a shadow from the candle candelabra on the picnic table in our backyard. That's what it is. You might think that this is a contrived shot, but it isn't! I just happened to be at the right place at the right time. Wrought iron makes for great shadows and this would be wrought iron n the miniature I guess!

And what's with this doll? Find out more about it by going to this link here. Which will also explain the title of this posting!

Every week, a group of us from around the world post our shadow shots over at Hey Harriet. Entertain your muse and be amused by stopping by to see what others have posted!

You can also view all Shadow Shot postings I've done by scrolling all the way down and on the left side you will see an archive of labels for my posts. Look for Shadow Shot Sunday and click on that link for an "all you can view" buffet of shadow shots!

The vertical candelabra looks nice in its cast shape. The nearly horizontal shadow is exquisite in its complex shape full of arcs. a wonderful capture.

The doll is transformed. We do not often see the basic beauty of anybody, it should be easy to spot, but we miss it. As an artist, you work to make our eyes not be averted, but instead gently compel us to see true beauty.

The doll is lovely. The artist works to let us see the exposed beauty, a gentle reminder to see the good. A fine sense of artistry...

The candelabra does make an interesting shadow.

Oh yes wrought iron shadows are lovely and your capture is awesome! Your piece for the Oaxaca Street Children Benefit is wonderful! Sounds like a worthy cause & I'll pop back later to explore the site further. Thanks for the link!

That candelabra casts a beautiful shadow. Nice find!

I did not know that Mexican kids were being denied education for want of what is to us a pretty small fee. Good for you for helping!

I never guess it right! I though this thing is a sort of an ancient or Mexican/Indian jewel.

Doll looks so alive. A bridy, huh?

Thanks for sharing.
