It’s been a while since I have taken a photo journey, but I changed that tonight. The original idea was to go and check out the Occupy OKC business downtown, but when I got there not a whole lot was happening. About twenty people were mingling and sitting around, but it was getting dark and it seemed like most of the protesting and sign holding were at an end for the night.
Sometimes you get the opportunity to get together with people that you have never met to take pictures of things in the dark. Fortunately, when these occurrences happen, they usually don’t end being as creepy as that sentence would make them out to be. I had a chance to partake in such a group tonight via the site Meetup.com, and here are some of the resulting images.
Haven’t put up any images in about week SO I NEEDED TO PUT UP SOMETHING.

Sometimes your bar needs that extra something to set it apart from all the rest. For Michael Murphy’s, it’s dualing pianos. Now, I have never been to this establishment, so I can only assume that the inside is just like the Thunderdome. Two pianos enter, one piano leaves.

The downtown atmosphere is very interesting on nights that are not Friday or Saturday. Taking a cue that Gaea that this weather is too much to pass up, I walked about Bricktown from around 7pm to 11pm. I enjoy those streets far more when there are far fewer people clomping about. One of the images in this set would certainly not have been possible during the weekend, as you will see.
Went out and did some night shooting last night. This might be the only cinemagraph I pull from the lot, but I have a lot of stills to sift through yet. The technique for this one was actually a bit different than normal. Normally I would just turn the camera over to video mode and shoot a bit of film and pull the imagery from there. For this one it was too dark to get a good exposure, so I just took multiple stills. The editing in Photoshop was basically the same from there.

That ordinance 32.319 is a bitch.

The time has come for some more moving images! This one is all about some flags.
