Night Photography, its probably my favorite style to shoot in. The way colors change on film is magical - the long exposures uncover hidden light and shadow.

I have so many spots to shoot, my google maps is covered in blue dots. I mapped out my route, start at the boat ramp overlooking the wind turbine facility,

move up Herman Melville Boulevard, then into the heart of the city on Acushnet. I am feeling confident tonight.

The wind turbine facility is powered down. I was hoping the lights would be on.

One of the spots I had picked out was a towing company. Its essentially an old gas station with no pumps - the old tube lights were on inside and glowing

a beautiful bright yellow. I like the way the light plays on the millions of scratches on the plastic glass garage bay doors. The rusted metal adds a nice touch,

you can see the tow trucks inside, the back of them brightly lit and the front ends cast in deep shadow. After peeking around for a while, I looked into the office

area. There is a canvas oil pointing of a rather large man in a suit. I assume the patriarch of the family business. His painting sits on a wood panel wall next to a

neon blue clock. I think it has a Chevy logo in the middle. It feels like I stepped back in time to the 1980s. It reminds me of the places my dad worked at when I

was a kid.

Cars are a trend tonight. Nearby is a car wash facility. There is a billboard in front that reads 'A CLEAN car lasts longer..' with a painting of a Pontiac GTO.

The personification of cool, even by todays standard. I shot it from inside the parking lot and from across the street. Looking through the ground glass of the

Horseman VH, I think the shot from across the street is the better composition. There is a Wellness Center that is visible from that vantage point, on the large

plate glass windows are paper cutouts of pumpkins and skeletons. Its almost time kids.. 7 more days till' Halloween.

This just got interesting. There tearing down part of Interstate 195 - the lights were so bright and the workers were up in cranes knocking down concrete

columns. I tried getting a shot from the street but it wasn't good enough. The site foreman came out to see who I was and I introduced myself. We hit it off -

and I asked if I could come onto the site to take a few photographs. He said I could if I only had a hi-vis vest and as luck would have it, I did. I put it on and was

told to only stay around the entrance as the other areas are too dangerous. I made two images before the Massachusetts Department of Transportation on-site

manager came over to talk to me. I didn't want to throw the site foreman under the bus so I took the blow - I said I knew I wasn't allowed to be here but I did

it anyways. He kindly asked me to finish my exposure and kick rocks. I'm getting too tired to write anymore. Maybe I will sit on this and write something better

later.
