I'm sure every photographer takes some pictures ‘just for the fun of it’ or ‘to see how they'll turn out’. None of the images here is ever going to earn me a penny... But taking 'em in the dark is always going to be more interesting than dull old daylight.
Also, this gallery gives me a chance (in the extended captions) to ramble on about the philosophy of photography.
