Manteno Cruise Night

"...Why don't you go to night school in Manteno and learn a real trade."

There is no night school in Manteno for ultra-sound technicians seeking new professions. There is however a cruise night.

After driving to the wrong city (my assignment sheet said Momence) and waiting out the rain I finally got these shots which I love. This is pretty much straight from the camera. A big cloud rolled over and made everything this beautiful blue. It looks like a lit it even though I could probably never light anything this well.


I told the guy on the right that he looked like a Chicago gangster especially when he was walking around with a cigar earlier. He's actually from Miami and does street racing.

The guy on the left has the bluest eyes I have ever seen although its probably the cloud.
