Tulsa Area United Way reached it's goal again in 1996!
$18 Million! |
It's been a tradition in Tulsa for some of the downtown buildings to light their office lights to spell the number of the United Way goal when it's achieved each year. I was assigned to take photos of those buildings in 1996, but it was so foggy and rainy that you couldn't see the downtown office buildings from more than a few feet away. There are tall office buildings in the blank areas behind and between the two buildings you can see here. As I was looking around the city for a photo op I found this spotlighted building highlighting a banner which had "$18,000,000" written on it. I LOVED the laser-look of the spotlight through the fog! I wandered around the site until I found this composition, using the truck and the spotlight itself to frame the building.
Yes, the photo has been "manipulated". There's no way that the print film I was shooting could record the downtown scene as you see it and the actual writing on the banner itself at the same time. The banner writing was totally washed out by the amount of light that hit it during the long exposure necessary to record the rest of the scene. So...the "$18,000,000" was laser-printed onto the actual print itself! I think the resulting print looks dramatic and gets the point across at the same time.
