Downtown Fort Wayne

I know, two blogs in a week? What’s up with me? Last night the Downtown Improvement District sponsored an event called “Bright Night”. The idea was that all the merchants downtown were to leave all their lights on last night, thereby lighting up the entire downtown. There was a mix of compliance with this and some lights were left on, some were not. This event was meant to compliment the opening of the new ballpark, Parkview field.

The DID also invited people to take place in a photo contest. While I generally don’t do photo contests, I thought the whole concept of lighting up downtown was a cool concept and I that would provide a unique photo opportunity. On top of that, I have working on a series of b&w photos on Fort Wayne landmarks to decorate the customer sitting area of my studio. So maybe I could combine the efforts.

So, I headed downtown with my camera, a couple of lenses and my tripod. I was surprised by the number of photographers that were milling around. I hope everyone got some good shots.

Anyway it was fun to wander around downtown. I was surprised to see the number of people that were there. I haven’t been to the new ballpark yet but everyone says it’s first rate. Well, that’s my blog this week. Probably the last one till next Monday.
