A selection of some of the submissions from last Sunday
Also here's a short video of the artist talking about her My Skull My Pulpit (for those who swallow their deity) piece if you're interested in knowing more...
the skull shadows are fascinating. and I enjoyed watching the video to get the artist perspective. thanks for sharing Tracy, and happy Shadow Shot Sunday. thanks for hosting each week, and have a great one!
Terrific, Tracy! Love the decorated skulls! Your captures are superb as always! Such a great video -- always enjoy hearing what artists of all kinds have to say about their work. Hope your weekend is off to a great start! Enjoy!
Hi Tracy! I don't know anything about this; I'm going to watch the video in a minute to find out more. I really like both of your photos, but I think that the first one is my favorite. Thanks so much for using my snow shadow pic in your collage today. Have a great week,
Thanks, Tracy, for including my Tequila Maiden in this week's gallery! As for your photos, I prefer the first. I think the darker colors bring out the mystery of the skull better than the bright pink. (Of course, that's only my opinion and someone else--possibly you!--is bound to disagree with me!)

I like both photo effects - although I'm not so sure about the skulls!
The skull seems forlorn as it sits on the wall. Yet the color plumage adds a bit of life to the departed, the shadow even adding another element of life to the skull...
I like the triangle viewing area, the artist allowing us the perfect sightlines to view the exhibit. Great art available to us all...
My favorite is the top photo! Love the blues and black with the hot pink. You really impress me Tracy with all that you go and see and do during the week. I need a friend like you nearby to kick me into seeing more. To bust me out of my hermit life!
Tracy girl this is totally in my Halloween books for today and that isn't easy to add to in March ? LOL I watched a documentry on box jellyfish and an especially deadly tiny one that "floats" near Australian beaches .. it was AMAZING and SCARY how such a tiny thing can kill within minutes !!! Be careful when you are at the beach girl!!! Joy
Her fancy skull reminds me of DĂa de los Muertos art. The bright colored feathers ~ all it needs is a cigarette sticking out of its mouth! My DIL did a cow skull with a Hohokam type village on it in black & white over 25 years ago---now where did I put that skull??hmmmm. Happy SSS Tracy!!
Like the photos and the artist video. She needs to learn to speak more confidently, though! No more "I supposes" needed in her words about her art. Great shadows, on physical and metaphysical levels.
I like both shots! Sunny early morning greetings from Sydney, back in Casa on Monday...I don't want to leave but I know we'll be back, that helps :) Happy Sunday!
Very cool shadows Tracy, like your new toy too! I have been slack in the shadow dept for a while, finally got my act together today - Happy SSS to you and yours xxx
Sorry I could not post last Sunday. It is great to see how your meme has grow.
I like both versions of the gruesome goats head with chicken feathers. I expect to see some Haitian Zombie worship to go with it and of course bowls of chicken blood.
Oh my! I love your images of my work...they're beautiful...the colours are just glorious. I'm glad you enjoyed this piece and saw fit to photograph it! And thanks for sharing it with the world! Bless, Shell.
Wow!!! I love these shots... Thank you so much for picking my lizard to show spotlight... I haven't picked my shot yet, but I will be posting something (I think I'm hooked) hugs, antonella :-)
Interesting although not something I'd like on my own wall ;) The second shot seems to be closer to the colour scheme in the video? I'm not sure which I prefer. The blueish one gives more of a contrast between skull and decorations but the pink sort of makes the whole thing even more absurd.
That's such a cool app! It makes me wish I had an iphone! I would never even guess they weren't taken with an actual camera. Love the art too! It makes me think of riding on a carousel. I think that would be pretty awesome, a carousel full of fancy skeleton animals. It would be quite pretty!
These shadow shots are great, Tracy...like you, I can't decide which I love more. Perhaps checking out the video will help me decide...thanks for this great post...:)
Neat shots. The first is my fave. Interesting to listen to the artist talk about her work. Did you stand in the triangle when you took your photo? Did you converse with the skull while standing in the triangle? Did you ask if it was ok to photograph it? Did it answer? ;)
just got back from our weekend outta town and HAD to post another shadow shot from this morning! So you got two for the price of one from me this week! Cheers !!!

unusual artwork ~ thanks for sharing the video
Happy SSS Tracy!
Interesting video ... I always enjoy hearing what artists have to say about their own work. I'll be seeing an artist talk this week.
The hipstamatic app looks like a lot of fun. Cool shots of her pieces.
I hope everything is going well for you.

Enjoy your weekend.
Spring is just around the corner, though 38 degrees isn't very warm, we know what's coming...FINALLY!!!
Have a great week Tracy, as you enter Autumn, a beautiful season!

All the best, Boonie
Have a great Sunday.

This is interesting. I need to look into some of the photography apps for my iPhone. I do have the free "cartoon" app and it's pretty entertaining.
You always got those Perfect shots, ever...
Happy Sunday/Monday T! Hope everybodys' in the best of everything.

i love both of your shots - the first one would look really awesome with a bright neon pink mat & a heavy black frame.
This week for SSS, I'm featuring a photo of one of Sibes soaking up some sun that was captured by my shutterbug daughter. Hope you can stop by!
Happy Sunday!

I love what you did with your iphone too.
Thanks for hosting Tracy.

I like the soft focus effect from these shots. It really places all the emphasis on the subject.
