The camera has been drinking (not me)

This is the clearest picture in the batch. Frightened yet?

I like to take my camera out at night and snap pictures, lots and lots of pictures, of lights. Yes, people like me are very distracted by shiny things. In fact, I prefer it if I can move the camera so that I get a streak of light to represent the shiny thing of the moment. Some (most) would call it bad photography; I call it shaky shaky fun.

Deja Vu - the competition is high for those "three ugly girls" spots, especially on Dort Highway.


But I like the blur of lights at night in the city.


I like it when the lights cease to be just lights, and they become candy canes, or neon boomerangs, or flocks of souls that have stopped in for a nightcap on their way to eternity.

And then, just like that, the spirits of the night got on their motherfuckin' bee and rode home.


Sorry. There was just no way to back out of this post gracefully.
