It never fails to amaze me that one of America's most celebrated icons is representative of such a horrible part of our culture.

Sorry to burst your bubble of ignorance, but it's called shooting a photo at 24mm with a full frame camera.

I dont really think why it happened is important. I simply wanted to provide a definition for a term many people probably didnt know. I think the repeated instances of it in your pictures is more a result of shooting the subjects that you were. You would have had to go out of your way to avoid it.... its a rule of perspective.In short: don't think I was bashing your approach.... I just don't think its very effective in conversation to use a term that other people may not know.

Still dark compared to Tokyo or even Las Vegas for that matter.
