Well, part three happens to be the end of this year’s display of the “Tribute In Lights” and it marks a few firsts for me..

I made a somewhat spontaneous decision on Thursday night, abandoning my previous game plan, and electing, instead, to attempt to create a time lapse “montage” of photos of the display..
I will admit, that while I’m pleased encouraged with the results – I made a number of mistakes in hindsight – some of them the result of overthinking the project and thus talking myself into one setting when another would have worked better – and others just in the course of it being a “blind date” of sorts.  

In any event, I’m now planning to make another stab at it with a bunch of lessons now learned..

I’ve embedded the video below – you can also find it on YouTube (another first for me!)

Please, let me know what you think.

Special thanks to Michael Lawlor, Ryan Krieger and Drop Thud Oops, a portion of whose “Phrygian Waltz” is featured  as the sound track..

Hope you enjoy the show..

We were not expecting the memorial lights to be on Monday night, but Molly and I grabbed a few essentials and headed for our roof deck…
