When you are a child and you get the surprise of a nice spring-like day breaking up a long winter of being stuck indoors - or bundled-up outdoors - you get on your bicycle, strap a flashlight to your handlebars, and ride in your driveway until your parents call you in for the evening. And still you beg for just a little more time..."pleeease can I stay out a little bit longer?". This night feels okay to me, feels alive, feels pure, and it feels like the happiness you can only experience as a child, and remember fondly as an adult. This photo, from that evening, is a 4 second exposure of what a flashlight strapped to a bicycle being ridden by a kid who didn't want to come inside looked like to a camera.
