Part 1 I started this project when I was travelling to New York for three days. The idea is to capture some of the shadows I noticed while I was there.  I especially liked the shadows casted on the objects in the galleries.

Part 2 I was trying to find ways to visually present this project, and came across this full-window browser scalable j-query gallery. I cropped the photos at a ratio of 16:9 at 1000 pixels wide. If I only knew how to write javascript, I would try to add a preloader for each photo instead of one for the entire gallery. It gets a bit overwhelming when you have to load so many photos at once. I really liked the scalable and full-screen part though, so I’m keeping it! I will eventually make a simplified slow version of this where its just one simple page.

p.s. I also haven’t checked this in an IE browser so please don’t make fun of me if this doesn’t work in IE7  :]. pps. For personal projects, I am not designing for IE6 anymore.
