Description


This picture was made at an insanely late hour of the night, not long before sunrise. Chip and I were staggering to my apartment from a bar and decided to go into the park near Hollywood Beach (for those of you who know Chicago) and take some pictures. This particular tree was shining as bright as the moon and garish in the darkness of the park under intense sodium vapor lights. Photographed on April 3, 2009.

This came out quite well...of course I remember that night. My fingertips are still cold; alcohol and cold weather don't mix. Oh well...at any rate, this is a fantastic image, wonderfully haunting. There's a part of it that seems extremely haunting and otherworldly. I love the fact that this is both urban but also something else. Fantastic work! Definitely a favorite.

This has a wonderful "other world " feel to it.. Sodium vapor bulbs work at a very low part of the light spectrum. They present a challenge and an opportunity.. This works well

definitely a fav for me too. Sodium vapor lights were brought here from another planet, and they're one of the most awful innovations in this city. You got the eerie otherworldly feel of that light, I know the area, and I know how those trees gleam like strange creatures in the night. Nice sinewy feeling to the shot, and it's genuinely creepy too (a compliment). Fine job.

I can only imagine you and Chip wandering thru the night, cameras in hand--how I'd love to tag along on one of THOSE evenings!! Back to the foto--just WOW!!!!---it's fantastically creative, full of mystery, even a bit of weirdness, probably not somewhere most people would even think of being after dark!!
