the list of now

You know what I love?

Blurry photos taken from a moving vehicle.

I’m serious.  I love being a passenger with a camera.

I love taking pictures of whatever is outside the window when we are stopped at a light.  And while we are in motion.  I love the underside of bridges, all covered in graffiti that you can see from train windows.  And I even love the flares, sparks and trails of light you catch if it’s dark out, on the highway and you trying to take pictures anyway.

I figure there have to be more people out there who also love blurry (and non-blurry) passenger photos.  I searched around on flickr and found some beautiful photos, but no groups that specifically noted photos were taken as a passenger in a car, train, boat or aircraft.

So I started my own tumblr.
