Prom Night


Rain fall adds glamour and glow to the neon lights reflected in the wet pavement, as the Cedar Falls High School Prom begins at the Electric Park Ballroom in Waterloo, Iowa on Saturday, May 10, 2008. The prom theme was Casino Royale.

This single blurry image almost got me in trouble. After making some prom images, I decided to wander around outside the building. On the other side of the chain link fence is an area that is being sub-leased by the government for some "secret training ops", and the prom is supposedly the last public event they are allowing to take place until their ops are complete. I saw this building, and I loved how it was backlit. I saw security across the lot, but did not conceal myself. I raised my camera and fired the shot and was immediately greeted by the security personel who had hastily made their way across the lot. After requesting to view the image I just made (and the two before), they were satisfied, and warned me that I was not allowed to take pictures anywhere near that property. Curious.
