The Capitol in Austin, Texas

“Language… has created the word “loneliness” to express the pain of being alone. And it has created the word “solitude” to express the glory of being alone.” – Paul Johannes Tillich, The Eternal Now

Throughout the years of my experimentation with this art of photography, I have learned one thing. Well, a few things….but one that stands out. Unless you are into the sport of the capture, it can be a real drag hanging out with a photographer during the “blue hour.” We tend to wander about in a trance like state attempting to grab every angle of the scene before that special light disappears into the night. Lucky for me, I was able to explore this Capitol of Texas with a fellow photog that knew the area and was equally interested in the art of the moment. I was a little disappointed that the sky was clear that night, but now that I look at this scene, I think the simplicity of the sky actually helps the scene.

Thanks for the company Cliff.
