These six images are my response to that brief \u2014 a collection gathered from the streets, corridors and churches of a country where the light rarely lets you ignore it. The spiral staircase, the long shadows of a sunlit walkway, even a jellyfish in the deep \u2014 each one felt like a small answer to the challenge of capturing that interplay between illumination and obscurity. I hope they do the theme justice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>They were entered to the 617 club challenge which had the following introduction:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<h1 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Shadow &amp; Light<\/h1>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"isPasted\">We&#8217;re thrilled to unveil our Photography Project Challenge, now active throughout Season Two of The 617 Club. This ongoing challenge invites all members to embark on their creative journeys immediately. After a recent poll, the intriguing theme of \u2018Shadow &amp; Light\u2019 was selected by our community. This concept stems from our eagerness to keep the Project Challenge momentum alive, following the resounding success of the \u2018Members Photography Challenge\u2019 during our seasonal break. Embrace the play of contrasts, explore the dynamic interplay of illumination and obscurity, and capture the essence of this captivating theme. Join us and let your lens tell a story of contrasts, where every shadow meets its light.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-2 wp-block-gallery-1
