Description
I hate to be late. In fact, the very idea of not being on time is like fingernails on a chalkboard to me. I particularly don't like to be late when dealing with friends. So, now that Tara's birthday was nearly a week ago, it pains me somewhat that I'm just now getting around to putting up her birthday post. I wasn't intending to be so tardy, but it was just that kind of week...
Tara (auntietk), is a very talented artist and all around groovy person, who has always been very supportive of my gallery right from the start. I know she's a fan of my "tangerine" series, but in scanning my zillions of pictures, I couldn't find one of the adequate "tangerininess", and had to settle on this one, which is, well, sort of...yellow. And since it was made at about 3 o'clock in the morning in the stillness of the wee-small hours (I've always wondered where that expression came from), it was pretty mellow as well.
This is the original angle of this shot. I tried doing a corrected version, but didn't like it as much.
Happy (belated) Birthday, Tara!
This picture was made near the corner of N. Broadway Street and W. Ardmore Avenue in the Edgewater area of Chicago on June 3, 2009.

A lovely capture for Tara though it took me a minute to register and turn my head.

Very cool shot, I like the POV and color.

The yellow does for the scene what "tangerine" light does for your Tangerine series, and I love the result! Great building, and I love the cab with the streetlight behind it. Sort of like "My Favorite Martian" only with a bent antennae with a light on the end of it! (Something about the angle made me go there ... I don't know.) I wonder if anybody in the building knows that center section has lights on in a pattern. Everything on the right-hand side is on, then on-on-off, on-on-off in the middle, then a couple of rougue windows to the left. It gives me a sense of motion, like maybe an elevator making its rounds. A couple of random night-owls in the wings completes the scene. And it makes me wonder who called a cab at that hour. What a fascinating and engaging scene! I like this picture very much, my friend. Thank you! :)

SUPER COOL DEDI

The POV reminds me of "Absinth Vision," a photographic method discovered in the streets of Prague on a night involving a camera, Absinth, a taxi, and a bottle of "walking vodka" shared with a local and a fellow expatriate. We were on a mission, you see, to go shake our grove thangs on one of those dance floors that was once a nuclear fallout shelter. Anyway, that has nothing to do with this picture, except for the fact that the POV reminded me of one of those nights that logic says one shouldn't remember. I love the off-kilterness of it and the crisp clarity; that mix just makes this deliciously surreal and dream like: it makes sense, and it is compelling, but it's not mundane. Perfect, and it's a perfect gift/dedication as well! Yeah, I like this a lot and to steal Sandra's words, it is a super cool dedi.

All my attempts at night photography come out a little flat, so I always admire your efforts. Is it something about Chicago street lighting? Probably not, it's just my efforts are poor. Love this picture, and your pov adds an unexpected dimension that works really well for me.
