The Christmas parade in Havre de Grace bing another of their night phenomena, means few shots that really work, while making for a couple of really nice ones.

The next shot left the subject (and myself) completely in the dark until I began work on it. I had no idea where all the bubbles were coming from – I saw a couple of figures walking in the dark, pointed and shot. Only later did I realize that I had answered my question.
