Dear Twilight Hunter,
The bottom photograph is perhaps the only one worth anything, and like a few others taken at night, it's not even twilight. I hesitated to attach it, but here we are. The Eiffel Tower was sparkling on the hour, and the searchlight swung around for me and my camera at just the right moment. Whether it was the photo setting, the precise second I pushed the button, or just my shaky hands, I caught something that is - for lack of a better term - pretty damn cool.
