I realize everytime I have to go to more populated areas just why I like to live in Meadville. I was stuck in traffic down in Wexford...you know that kinda thing were you hit the gas for about 2 seconds and then are back on the brake again....then once in awhile you feel freedom as you drive for a whole 30 or 40 feet before coming to another deadstop. The thing about this traffic jam however was it was beautifully lit. Nice afternoon near sunset lighting!!!! Good stuff. I started to make some pictures thru my car windows to pass the time. I was thinking how lucky I am to be a photographer--instead of getting bored and frustrated with the traffic, I just used it as a chance to make some photographs. Now I can't say for sure if I'd have the same attitude if it was crappy light, but I'd like to think so--maybe I would've concentrated more on my cd instead of the light and been just as content....but still I really wouldn't want to live in populated areas where this is a daily occurrence! Hooray for Meadville, Pennsylvania!!! Photograph by Richard Sayer
