The Wee Hours

If one would like to take some photos of the IH10-410 interchange, 4 a.m. is a swell time! There was no possibility of getting arrested for loitering because all the police were busy rushing to 911 calls. A couple of SAPD cruisers blew by with lights, but no siren. No one was there to point an accusatory finger at me except for one poor schmuck at a motel who had to take his dog out for a pee break.

What Pictures Should I Take?

So this is for the Introduction to Digital Photography class. We are invited to plan a photo-shoot for a final project. I don't want to say required, because I really get antsy if this all comes to resemble something like the pre-graduation project in a BSc. or BA. program. So this is what I want to do.
