Off and on I've been working on a project shooting at night using long exposures--like several minutes to several hours. OK, maybe not several hours, not yet anyhow, but some of the exposure times have been up there. It's been something I started playing around with as a way to see things differently and to simply try new things. It's also got me thinking of different ways to light things-- using car headlights, or flashlights or painting with light. So, now the next step is to take that and apply it to say portraiture. Or not. Anyhow, it's a different way of seeing the commonplace, and adds a new element, though I've been trying to stay away from the ol' cars on the highway motif that so often gets used. I remember doing something similar for a photo course when I was going to school. At the time, I was in many ways a little too impatient and tried to rush things. It's a little different this time around. So, here's a few form the series.
