I was out for a run last night and noticed a professional photographer set up in front of an empty house taking some pretty fancy photos. He had his tri-pod out in the street with some fancy red cones around him, like he was some traffic surveyor. The driveway and all the sidewalks were hosed down to give it a nice glow. All the lights were on inside the house (which was totally empty). All this right at dusk to get the perfect light. I thought it was true sign of the times.
