Red light bridge


I know, I know..... the title is kinda lame. But sometimes I have a hard time coming up with creative titles for my photos - other times it's easy.

This one is not particularly one of my favorite self portraits. In fact, it's probably not even in my top ten. But it turned out halfway decent, so I figured I would post it here.

While driving home from a friend's house late on a Sunday night, I was kind of reflecting on a few things in my life. As I was driving, I drove right underneath a pedestrian bridge that spans at least a 1/4 mile over Route 59 in southern Naperville. The photographer in me saw a photo< I just wasn't sure where. So I found a place to park, and set up my tripod. I stood there for at least 15 minutes before I took the shot, taking it all in. The noise of the traffic, the hum of the red chinese take-out sign, and the power lines strewn high above my head. I just let it all soak in for a good 15 minutes. Then, I fired off about 10 exposures. This was the result.
