“I urge you to please notice when you are happy, and exclaim or murmur or think at some point, ‘If this isn’t nice, I don’t know what is.’”
I’m looking back on a few photos I’ve taken over the last few months of time spent in Buffalo and really feeling the meaning of this old Vonnegut quote. This one’s for you, Buffalo and its everyones and everythings I’ve happily met since moving here.
Buffalo’s grain silos, beautifully lit and exalted for all of this creative city to see. City of Night organizer Dana Saylor, and I’m sure an army of volunteers, has a lot to be proud of.
You can read and watch more about what City of Night was, but all you have to see are these images of light, color, vision and creativity. This event was successful because of all the art, vendors and activism, but more importantly, because it literally shed light on what we have to work with, and what we can create with it.
Good work, all around. Let’s do it again. Where else?
