I took my camera on the streets of my neighborhood on the evening of 12/12/12. Nothing in particular was happening so it needed something to tie the footage together. I improvised the guitar music over a track created in Otomata, an online program that creates music similar to the way cellular automata like the Game of Life creates movement. The audio is a bit over-modulated, but what the hell, I got it done before midnight. I’ll do better next time.

The girl in red asked me what I was doing and could I take her picture. I told her I was shooting time exposures and yes, if she could stay absolutely still for 3 seconds.
