Had a good time this weekend. The wife and I did some karaoke at the local watering hole on Friday, did a barbecue/bonfire out at a friend's house Saturday, watched the fireworks display over Bellingham Bay on the 4th, then relaxed on Monday since someone deemed it a holiday.
Whilst socializing with some people on Sunday night after the fireworks were over, I noticed a few people making their way to the alley behind the house we were at. They all seemed really excited, and I could see some lights being flashed around in the dark. Upon investigation, I found out these guys were urban taggers, who were using a slow shutter speed on a camera to record their "tagging" with light instead of spray paint. I thought it was a pretty rad way for these dudes to express their art.
Realizing that this was a prime video opportunity for my blog, I whipped out the cell phone and began shooting these guys. They were at first apprehensive about it, which I still don't understand. Something about they each have a recognizable style which may or may not have been expressed on the side of a building somewhere, I don't know. But, once I introduced myself and let them know I wasn't out to identify them or their work, they chilled out and were more than happy to continue their light tagging. Hopefully, I will have video to follow...
