    “Who knows what evil lurks in the hearts of men? The Shadow knows!” The introduction to the “The Shadow” radio program from 1937. You wonderful image reminded me of the intro to the show, which I had heard at some point. But I don’t remember when, since the radio program is way before my time. Maybe the Shadow Man whispered it in my ear one night.

      Sounds interesting. Maybe the show can be found somewhere on the net?
      Thank you for your compliments, Timothy.

        It looks like you can download episodes of “The Shadow” from oldworldradio.com.

    Is it this figure that is alienated, or is this figure in an alien(ated) world? Only the poet can answer.

    1. rabirius Avatar

      Well, if you know a poet who is inspired to find some words for my picture I’m looking forward to hearing them.

    Compelling photograph, Rabirius.

    Toll, ein Szenenausschnitt aus einem Thriller?

    1. rabirius Avatar

      Vielen Dank.
      Nein, eigentlich eher der Schatten einer alltäglichen Situation. 🙂

    It is within the shadows that truth is known. Very unique image, Rabirius. I couldn’t take my eyes off of it.

    1. rabirius Avatar

    Is that you in a dream?

    1. rabirius Avatar

      No. I took the photo. 🙂

      1. mdhoffmannphoto Avatar

        Could have been a selfie.

        1. rabirius Avatar

          I only tried a selfie once, and everybody told me that it was not. 🙂

          1. mdhoffmannphoto Avatar

            Ya. I don’t do selfies either. I don’t know why folks like to do them so much – they usually look pretty distorted with big noses and eyeballs. Not very flattering.

          2. rabirius Avatar

            You’re right. It is a mystery to me as well.

    So many questions. So few answers.
    Fun.

    1. rabirius Avatar

      Well, just take a close look at the shadows. 🙂

        Mystic image!!! Like the end of an art movie where we just keep guessing.
