Both images: parking lot lights – Carol Stream, Illinois
As I was photographing the parking lot lights above recently, a guy walked over to where I was shooting and said to me in a very low, conspiratorial tone, “You better be careful, bro.”
“Why’s that?” I asked.
“They got cameras in those street lights you making pictures of – uncomfortable silence – yea, they watchin’ everything now, bro. I saw a show on TV about it. They listenin’ to everybody, too. They probably listening to us right now, bro.”
Ok, while I don’t believe the streetlights had cameras in them, it looks a little bit like they could have cameras in them. I’m just saying.
Strange how paranoia can link up with reality now and then.
