Third Gear

Played around with some light painting on still life objects after reading about Barry Taratoot, Georgia based photographer who had an exhibit at Georgia's Hartsfield-Jackson Airport, titled "The Les Fleurs Photographic Collection."

I think of it so much

When I ride over the bridge or see someone ride over the bridge.

And stop mid-glance.

When else do you look up?
