Another eclipse

Regular reader and Towson University student Patrick Smith has a nice eclipse image on his Flickr site. There he talks about his chilly adventure to make some photographs for the Towerlight.
The hand-held 13 second exposure created an arresting abstract quite different from from the nearly identical Seattle photographs. Some people like it, some don't. To me it represents a fresh view that works -- maybe not for the newspaper, but works within itself.
