Goodnight Raleigh - a look at the art, architecture, history, and people of the city at night

First Night Raleigh 2008





This was the first time I attended First Night Raleigh, and it was exciting. There was a huge crowd of people and everyone was extremely jovial and loud as 2008 rolled in.

I subscribe to your blog and no joke I actually keep an eye out for a guy with a camera and tripod whenever I head downtown at night, thinking I might catch you in the act. Never thought you’d actually take one with me in it! Granted I can’t actually see myself, but I know I’m in that mess of people somewhere. ;) Any chance you’ve got a higher res version of the shot looking directly perpendicular into the street?
