Linder and Irving Park

It's pretty obvious from looking through my photos that I love night photography. It's one of the joys of living in the city, the bountiful light that doesn't end once the sun goes down. It's a whole other game, the gathering of artificial and often moving lights. While during the day, the moments I snap don't usually last more than 1/60 of a second, at night I'm often capturing anywhere from an entire second to 30 seconds. I could probably blow my mind pondering that for a bit, but I'll stop here for now.
The photo above is of the entrance to Portage Park after I'd dropped off my friend Chris following The Mountain Goats show. I literally stopped my car in its tracks because the lights on the trees were so beautiful.
I really love my city...
