These shots were taken the night we found the Alishan Habu. I was totally stoked to have someone take pix of me taking pix....but equally crushed when I saw the actual photos the next day. Obviously I had not taken into account that cell phone cams are complete and utter crap at night.

Then I looked at the images a bit more. No two ways about it, they spit in the face of every photographic convention - lighting, composition, focus (what focus?), color, textures, everything is as wrong as can be. But then it hit me: in spite of their massive shortcomings, they totally convey the energy, the rush, the sheer primordial joy of night cruising, albeit in a very uncommon way. But isn't that what art's all about? Pointing out things in unconventional ways?

Hope you find them as fascinatingly revolting/revoltingly fascinating as I do

I like the second photo.
