Pictures of the Night

On Monday night, I went out on a photo shoot in downtown Grand Rapids, MI. My goal was to quickly walk down to Monroe street, take a few pictures of the lights, and head back to my warm car. Well, it didn't quite work out that way. I saw more and more lights, and I wandered more and more around the city, and... I took alot more pictures than planned. And it kind of became more of a general city shoot, rather than a Christmas light shoot. Oh well. All the more to share with you all, here at Epsilon!

(for those running stuck on Christmas gift ideas, these photographs would make great PC wallpaper!)
