Not-Self Portraits (Shadows)

I'm doing a series of photos of my own shadow that I call Not-Self Portraits kind of based on the Buddhist concept of not-self. I like this image, which I shot in my neighborhood in Oakland, partly because it has the great shadow of the parking meter. They are in the process of replacing these "old-school" parking meters with big tall rectangular-shaped ones whose shadows will only look like mini-skyscrapers. So everything truly is impermanent, even the parking meters. (Bonus: Click on the title of this blog and it will take you to some photos of Lee Friedlander, whose work really inspired my shots.)
