Description
This picture was made at about 2:30 in the morning during a lull in a downpour. My sister Kate, her fiancee Steve, and I, had enjoyed a lengthy set by the way cool local band the Letter 3 at Fitzgerald's in the Chicago 'burbs, and were hungry. Steve suggested a nearby 24 hour pizza joint, and away we went. I made a bunch of pictures of the band, (amazing multi-instrumentalists who can play anything), none of which came out very well. This photo is one of the few reminders of a fantastic night that actually did come out.
Photographed in Berwyn, or was it Oak Park, (all these suburbs run together), Illinois, on June 17, 2012.

There's a science fiction novella called: "Rain, Steam, and Speed" and I can't remember who it's by or even what it's about. I know it was in one of those Full Spectrum anthologies, put out by Bantam Books...one of those anthologies where everyone who is someone was in it. And that particular novella stuck out, partly because of its title, and partly because it was a good story, despite the fact that I forgot it. This has nothing to do with this photo, directly, but that title popped into my head when I saw this, though this looks more like Rain, neon, and shadow...equally appealing. I love the colors and the deliciously cinematic vibe this has. It's too crisp and clean to be a screen capture, but it has the feel of a screen capture: just an overgrown thumbnail of a really interesting drama, and we've been dropped right into the middle of it. Great mood and I love the colors.

A superb night capture with fabulous colours and reflections. A great way to remember an excellent night out.

You have a way of giving life and interest to the most mundane scenes, my friend! Seriously. A pizza place in a strip mall in a suburb somewhere. By all rights this should be boring as all getout, but it's not. It sparkles and draws me in and makes me wish I was in town where I could get a good shot of a strip mall! LOL! Outstanding image. It's good to see you, dear one. :X

Well done, Corey. The lighting and reflections really transform a mundane strip mall into a magically place.
