Rory is such a man. We trekked through the windy Alaskan terrain, mosquito infested air, and glacier cold water to produce this image. Our feet were numb and every inch of exposed skin was beginning to redden from mosquito bites, but it was so much fun and I am more than pleased with this photograph. Thanks Rory!

day 183

Some kids sneak out of their house at night to go to parties and do drugs, my brother and I sneak out to take pictures in the driveway. Just remember that Dad when you learn that William and I took pictures by the light of the car's hazard lights.

I had tried to take a nap today because of a nasty headache, and of course when I woke up it was 11:30pm. I've always wanted to take photos using the headlights of a car, but being scared that turning on the car would wake up my parents (especially when their bedroom window was open ... thanks a lot Daddy. ;) ), I just used the hazard lights. William came out with me for moral support (aka I wanted a witness if a bear attacked me), and when self portraits weren't coming out like I had planned, William sat in front of the light and we ended up with the image above.

I do want to revisit this idea again sometime, so Daddy, if you ever wake up to the sound of the car engine running, don't worry. It's just me being a rebel child and taking pictures at night.
