This idea is for a silhouette, cut out of a lightweight, synthetic,
semi-transparent, grey cloth. Thus, in photos of your beach holiday, even though the sky is overcast and there's a bitter wind blowing in from the sea, because you've laid this auxiliary shadow out at your feet, a casual observer of
the photos will conclude that your holiday was gloriously sunny.
This can also be used while walking around, using little velcro tags to attach the shadow to your shoes. It can also be used indoors - imagine how good you'll feel at that important business meeting in some corporate, ambiently lit office when you're the only one casting a dense,
well-defined shadow on the floor, giving the subconscious impression to your colleagues that the sun shines on you and no one else?

Can it dance as well as the ones in the CingularSleek iTune phone commercials? |

I think a photo of just the shadow might be interesting. Maybe a group shot or family portrait. |

Why bother to put it away when the sun does come out? Enjoy the confused looks of passers-by as they try and work out where the second sun is. |
|
| |
I'd like to put out a second shadow next to the first. |

Nice, [DrC], although I was imagining a more immediate contact shadow. |
|
| |
Excellent! Although "i got your shadow" will probably become popular on playgrounds.. |
|
| |
I love the idea, but somehow it reminds me of the dead guy on the floor, paint out, idea. |
|
| |
So where did [neilp] hold the camera? |

bris: ain't no pleasing some people; plenty more in Google images ("beach shadows"). |

"Then Wendy saw the shadow on the floor, looking so draggled, and she was frightfully sorry for Peter. "How awful!" she said, but she could not help smiling when she saw that he had been trying to stick it on with soap. How exactly like a boy!" |
