Good morning my minions. I thought we'd start of the week doing something fun and creative. Spring has sprung, the weather here is fair, and the bright sunshine makes me happy. Seeing the sun after months of gloomy winter reminded me that I do, in fact, have a shadow. To celebrate this fact I stepped out and took a self-portrait of my dark, decumbent doppleganger, as seen here and here. The low angle of the early morning rays makes me look a bit like an Aunt Jemima bottle, but so be it.

Now, good citizens of Katonia, I call upon you to go out and do likewise. Take a unique self-portrait by snapping a photo or two of your shadow. Upload it to FlickR or Blogger or whatever else you might use and post a link in the comments here for all to see. If you don't have a place to store it, e-mail the photo to me and I'll post it. I was only half-awake for mine and thus stood very much like a lump, but be creative: move your arms, pose, hold an object, etc.

I look forward to seeing what you come up with.
