Ah, time enough for creativity at last! Goodbye dreadful homework, and Hello Spring Break! This picture is part of the first set of many many pictures I hope to take this week. We're planning on a trip somewhere in Colorado this week. I won't tell you where, I'll let it be a surprise when I post the pictures. Anyway, I felt like coming up with something out of the ordinary today. So i took about 50 pictures of an old broken computer motherboard that turned out awesome, but those are for another day. This is a picture of New York City! In its condensed and portable form of course. But what makes it so awesome is the lighting. Can you guess how many lights I used? Better yet, can you guess which things I used for the lighting? Stop reading here and leave your comment.... I'll wait. ...ok, now that you have left a comment guessing how it was taken (which you have right?) I'll tell you... I used a flashlight. Just one flashlight. And a 17.1 second exposure. It was a lot of fun, and I took about 20 of 'em in total. I moved it around at different speeds from different directions and ended up with some pretty wacky looking pictures. It you look at it from a standard snapshot point of view it's really confusing. I like best how the light drops off toward the back of the picture, but yet the light on the statue is perfectly even. I can't wait to take lots more this coming week, and I'll have all the time I want now!
Moving On...
Update: I got a Pro Flickr account with the money I made from Prom Portraits, and so I'm planning to post a lot to there for now as I figure out the details for my official photography site.
Portfolio's up! But I use flickr mostly now...
So without further delay, here are my two shiney new URL's:

Update Update (Feb 07th 2012): HI! I still check this blog every once in awhile. It's fun to have an archive of my first Project 365 still hanging out on blogspot. Cool.
Anyway, in case anyone is wondering, my web home base is now stevemoraco.com - Simple enough right?
