Panasonic G1, G Vario 14–45mm lens at 14mm, 1/400 sec. ƒ/9 ISO 250
I have to admit I kinda like pictures with the photographer's shadow in 'em. I like "mistakes." Dogs are good, too.

Where's Lulu? Is that a cactus shadowing the shepherd?
What?

That might be the best comment I've read on this site or any other.

I am a bit disappointed that the G1 does not seem to resolve leaves much better than Nikon. Hope Olympus does better with their wee one.

Hey now - I think that pup with the pink collar is my coworkers dog Jynx. Brookfield?

Hey, there is my Jynx!
And I think I know who one of those Shadows are.

"Jynx. Brookfield?"
Yes, I think that is Jynx. The pic was taken at Minooka Park which I think is technically in New Berlin, but pretty close to Brookfield.
I'm not that great at remembering names of people, still less dog names, but "Jynx" does ring a bell....

Does this mean your G1 review is coming soon? :)
And yes, I like "mistakes" like that too.

Hi Jenn,
I just emailed you another snap of Jynx...

Can we expect a set of limited edition prints?

Or you can call it a self portrait - even HCB did it - see this example from Provence (1999):

I too am a great fan of pictures with my shadow in them and you can see some in http://www.stefanlubo.com/kgardens/ taken during a recent visit to Kensington Gardens in London. I think it is something to do with connectedness that draws one to the theme.
