After Dark

These nine images represent Lewisburg after dark through my eyes. It is a visual representation of a night on the town accompanied by my varying emotions. Of all these emotions going through my head, none was more prominent than fear. The fear of attempting something you’ve never done before in an environment you hardly know. These images represent this fear, but they also represent a completely different feeling I discovered as the night progressed. It was a freeing feeling where the pressures of finding a great story in a matter of days was lifted and I just shot what I saw as I traveled. Visually, a story can be in any form, as long as through the images the photographer is able to evoke a feeling out of the audience.
