it was a driving shot.  i was driving down the main street through town, and several blocks ahead i could see the giant american flag in the spotlight.  it was flying at half staff just over a little rise in the road, so it looked like it would cover the cars going by.  i was going to turn left for a shorter route, but the flag kept my steering wheel from turning.  it was late at night, but there were still plenty of cars on the road.  as i came closer to the flag the traffic light, next to it’s display, turned red.  i grabbed for my purse and pulled out my camera.  as i was hitting the power button the red light turned green, and i had to step on the gas…so i aimed the lens over my shoulder and clicked.  red.  white.  blue.  and lights.  i shot the flag at night.
