I took this photo two years ago at the Anne Arundel County Fair, which was held just down the street from the house I was renting in Maryland. In fact, I think I took the Muffler Man photo the same night.
I want to start shooting night photography again, however Alaska just isn't the greatest place for it. There are no warm summer nights to wander around; in the summer there isn't enough darkness to do the long exposures. With the sun below the horizon for 16+ hours a day, you'd think I'd be excited. Unfortunately, it's been so freaking cold here lately that I just don't see myself outside with a camera popping off a dozen 15-minute exposures. Or 15-second exposures.
Today the temperature will be soaring into the low 20s. Like I mentioned earlier, cold weather and long exposure photography don't work well together.
I'll have to figure something out. I'm itching to take some photos outdoors. Maybe it'll warm up [warm up: in a relative sense; as in "above five degrees"] one night and I'll get inspired.
Or maybe I'll wait until I visit my folks in Florida.
