Seeing 2009 (#63)

For my birthday this year I gave myself the gift of my first professional-grade tripod . . . rather remarkable as I've been passionate about this genre since c. 1974, when I first stepped into a darkroom and witnessed the magic of a developing print.

I greatly enjoy night photography, and this is a significantly altered version of one of the first shots I took using the new tripod on birthday night. The locale is in front of a local community center.

Trinity (Apparitions), #2255
