Shadows

Most good photographers say, don't shoot in bright sunlight, it's too harsh, the contrasts are too great, you won't be able to get the light balanced just right.  I completely agree with that except for one thing: I love shadows.  I love the patterns they make on the walls or the streets or the sidewalks and I love the different shades you get depending on how far away the subject is from where the shadow is being cast.  That said, here are a couple of my favorite shadow shots from our December trip to Mazatlan.  Which by the way is where I wish I was right now.
