Mysterious Light

Early this year I received a grant from the West Valley Arts Council for Light-painting Workshop and Exhibition.  The workshop was held at the Pearsonville Junkyard in California and hosted by Troy Paiva and Joe Reifer http://www.lostamerica.com/workshop.html.  Troy is the man behind Lost America http://www.lostamerica.com/ Since the workshop I have been shooting every full moon, usually with friends interested in urban exploration as well as long exposures and light painting.  You can check out this link for definition of urbex http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Urban_exploration  You can view a selection of my nocturnal exposures at http://www.flickr.com/photos/digital_elysium/sets/72157623847444373/ locations ranging from Pearsonville Junkyard, Nickersons at Picacho Peak, Old Ajo Rd. Gila Bend, Old Hwy 80, Arlington AZ, Salton Sea, Reeds Junkyard, Wittmann AZ,  Twin Arrows, Two Guns, Casa Grande Domes,  and Cordes, AZ.  I will be exhibiting this work at the El Mirage Gallery and Studio in January.  In the meantime I will be shooting heavily when the moon is in its full state.
