The beginnings and ends of shadow lie between the light and darkness and may be infinitely diminished and infinitely increased. Shadow is the means by which bodies display their form. The forms of bodies could not be understood in detail but for shadow.

It's been a while since I've attempted any photography due mainly to the lack of time and partially due to a lack of motivation to do any. Doing photography shoots is a hit and miss thing due to my lack of skills so I have to be in the right mood as I never know whether I'll need to deal with abject failure or a result I can be happy with.
A few days ago I created some time in my day and decided to see what images I could take using an every-day item, a pair of my reading glasses. I had a lot of plans, all of them grand visions of amazing photos showing shadow and light...but all I got was these photos and they're going to have to do I guess.
All of the images were taken inside of my light box and I also used a light mat thingy, (no idea what it's actually called), to light from below.
I'm pretty happy with how these turned out although I suppose a better photographer would have done things differently; I'm not one of those better photographers though so am happy to accept average results when it comes to my photos. If you'd like to pick out your favourite image, tell me how shit these photos are or make any general comments you know how to do that below, I'll treat them all individually and commensurate to the comment itself.
