To the uninitiated a cold windy rainy night might not seem like a good time to make urban photographs.<\/p>\n

In my eye this is a fantastic opportunity to make unconventional images.<\/p>\n

My brother and I planned to ride SEPTA\u2019s No. 15 streetcar along Girard Avenue to have burgers and beer at Johnny Brenda\u2019s located on Girard near the crossing of the Market-Frankford rapid transit line.<\/p>\n

I worked with my Lumix LX7 hand-held to expose this selection of images.<\/p>\n

Some of the street views were exposed using the Lumix\u2019s \u2018night mode\u2019 that exposes a burst of images in rapid succession and combines them in-camera as a composite.<\/p>\n

As you can see it was really lashing down and the most difficult part of this exercise was keeping the lens dry.<\/p>\n
