(My) Submission
to the Shadow Gallery

Sunday, October 25, 2009

A great project run by the wonderful Tracy of Hey Harriet. The Gallery is open to anyone who would like to participate and the extremely easy requisites to join can be read *HERE*.



Sources: One of my favorite books. I'm also a fan of the first publication but while reading this scroll version I developed the biggest crush on Jack Kerouac. Very much recommended.

Thank you so much again dear Tracy!!
Hope you're having a lovely weekend!

I read that book a long time ago and loved it! I must now investigate this scroll version. I hadn't heard of it! Thankfully by the comments here I can see I'm not the only one who wasn't aware of it. A very creative shadow shot Gabbi!

Hope you're feeling better and your week ahead will be a happy and healthy one!

Diana said...

Oh! I began reading the original scroll of the book, but I stopped halfway. SO many edits, but the spirit of Jack is so much more involved.
I hope you are feeling better Gabbi, this is a great piece for your project!

I really love that book myself. He's one of my favorite writers. I hope your week has gotten off to a good start. Cheers!

You are an amazing photographer and great blog, too bad you stopped blogging.

As for Kerouac, this was his greatest body of work,
my grandfather was his uncle.
