Description
Today marks my second anniversary on Renderosity. It's been fun! I've met many interesting and talented people (four of them personally), and have received a lot of great feed-back on my art. It goes without saying ( and perhaps I should say it more often), that I appreciate everyone who is kind enough to view and comment on my gallery. I would particularly like to thank J. Chip Howell (chipka), for turning me on to the site in the first place.
I thought I would kick off the beginning of my third year with another of those urban absurdest shots that happen during the everyday hurly- burly of big city life. Chip and I were going somewhere last summer, and at one of the stops a contingent of cyclists boarded the train. They were en route to an overnight bike marathon that started in the Loop, and full of excited chatter. Rather than be the sneaky Ninja I frequently am, I simply asked if I could take her picture. She was happy to let me, and we ended up talking for about ten minutes. You can't see it well in this picture, but those are actually Glow-Sticks erupting from her crash helmet, and they were throbbing through the visible spectrum as she sat there. Anyway, I have no idea what to call this picture; any suggestions?
Photographed on the Ravenswood/Brown Line train somewhere on the North Side of Chicago on July 6, 2010.

Glows in the dark? Glow, little glowworm? I actually thing parrotdolphin's is GREAT!! Nothing like urban life for really fun photography!!

I kinda like "You Glow Girl" as well...and I remember that night. I got a blurry shot of her that I deleted from my camera. I'm glad you got this one, and I love her expression. It's so nice when people actually pose for you, fully aware of what's on their head! This shot rocks and yeah, I look forward to seeing more urban absurdity in your gallery; life is so boring without absurdity, wit, and all of those other good smart things. Hey, with summer somewhat on its way, I'm sure you'll see something worthy of posting here! I'm still trying to talk James into showing up somewhere dressed as a pipsqueak Jedi. Hmmm...that might take some doing, but anyway, there you have it. This is a great, fun shot...a nice anniversary posting!

My first thought was that she had been attacked by a group of Indians from F-Troup. As for the title - I'd go go with one of the 'glow' suggestions. Dana

Marvellous character! You work is always interesting and unusual, Corey, and a pleasure to see. She maybe should never have said 'yes' to brain surgery.

What a great way to start off another year here! I assume those are glow-in-the-dark things, but what's cool about a bigger city is that it's possible the person just wants to be eclectic and strange for the sake of eclectic and strange. Cities let you do that, which may well be their best feature. Great shot, her smile is wonderful.

I love her expression. Silly and proud of it. It must be great to see her in the night, cycling along. I like "You Glow Girl" too. Excellent shot. Great light and reflection. Congrats on 2 years. I always enjoy my visits to your gallery.

It's always a pleasure to visit your gallery and to get a bit of a glimpse into your world. It was more of a pleasure to meet you in person, and I hope to have the opportunity again. It's been a great two years, and I'm looking forward to many more!

"Urban absurdity" - I like that! You could develop a whole gallery of this stuff. I also have to admit to a certain bizarre level of shock - cycles would never be permitted on London Underground!

'We're Not Mental, So Don't Be Afraid' It happens to also be the official motto of my department at work. Or is it, 'let's be wrong together'? I often forget. She seems to be a very gregarious soul, perhaps a - ah hem - Sagittarius. All us archers live life in a different sphere, preferably with plenty of jewel tone colours. And that's colours with a 'U' may I say.
