Feb. 9, 2005 - The alley

Ann Arbor, Mich.

After meeting my daughter for a movie last night in downtown Ann Arbor, I wandered around
looking for photos feeling a bit unsettled by the movie - Hotel Rwanda. I did a few cafe shots
and then came across this scene looking down an alley between Liberty and Washington streets.
I didn't have a tripod with me so I shot it the best I could handheld, and later pumped up the levels
in Photoshop. It was a great night for shooting, with a mist hanging in the air from the changing
temperatures. By the way, I highly recommend Hotel Rwanda. Don Cheadle deserves an Oscar
for his starring role. Paul Rusesabagina, the real-life hero, deserves the Nobel Peace prize.

Great lighting and mood -- it looks like a scene from CSI-NY.
