Visions of a Road Trip

My Photo scholarship 2010 entry

	I was in Vegas.  The Luxor Hotel was comparable to the steerage compartment of an early 1900’s steam ship.  Chewed gum welcomed a wandering finger under the nightstand at the bedside.  The shower soap, pre-littered with an abundance of ambiguous body hair.  Friends would gamble, drink and party.  I needed a soul search.

	I found a ride-share via Craigslist.  After an emotionally and physically trying road trip, I found myself at the shores of Mission Beach, California.  I was greeted by friends and peers.  I smelled salt water in the cool night with stale beer.  They piled out of a 1992 Corsica and hit the bar.

	I pulled my tripod out of the trunk and pressed myself against the sidewalk.  Noticing an archway with some accompanied palm trees, I saw a brilliant and consuming sky.  I sighed.  I breathed heavy.  I set my shutter speed.  30 seconds.  I opened my shutter.
