09/13/05 — Gimme Shelter

A 2,000,000 candle power flashlight sure knows how to light up a pitch-black room. Although I guess in this particular case, it worked a little too well over the course of twenty seconds. Still, I like the way this turned out. Buffalo seems to have it's fair share of (former?) fallout shelters. You can see the signs posted on the outside of churches, schools, community centres, etc. I look at this particular scene and it reminds me of those silly "duck and cover" drills that they used to conduct in classrooms back in the 50s. Of course, reading through a site like this and it would appear as though things are still just as silly nowadays as they ever were.
