I got some excellent leads for places to shoot tonight in Milwaukee. I didn’t find anyone to shoot with so I’ll go out alone. I have to be twice as careful, at least in theory, when I shoot alone at night. If I find a neighborhood with a lot of potential, I’ll park the van and walk around to get a feel for it, and gauge how safe it is. But its always stressful alone. The toughest part is when I compose the image. I need to look through the viewfinder for a long time, and concentrate. Its hard to do this properly if I also have to look over my shoulder every five seconds.

But I’m excited… I hope to finally get that Milwaukee shot tonight.
