To refresh your memory, these are pictures I took of something that I've come to see as an art and that I am very very interested in: lightshows.
Because they're associated with the rave scene and the drugs, etc. that sometimes accompany them, I feel that they go unappreciated or viewed as somewhat taboo (much like graffiti was in the past). If you ask me, though, they are really incredible, especially in person. They're beautiful to look at; and what I love the most about them is that they're a person's expression of sound and emotion. Someone is behind the lights, instinctively manipulating them to create these awesome visuals driven by music that moves them.
After learning how light shows work myself, I've also come to find that the most attractive and moving ones require actual skills and technique. It's a really cool thing, check it out some day in your free time!
this is awesome Lindsay! i always wanted to compile a book of light show photos.
