       Despite its appearance, this is actually a composite of three
       separate exposures taken overlooking US 101 in downtown San
       Francisco a few months ago, namely two for the night scene and
       one for the day scene. The fact that they match nearly precisely
       was actually a total accident, one I exploited for the effect --
       seriously, I didn't plan that out, they just happened to be
       serendipitously dead-on. The images were composited in Photoshop,
       bars drawn in "rubylith" over the image and perspectivized to
       generate the stripes (with some hand-tinkering), and then the
       text overlying that. I like how it emphasizes the consistency of
       one's gestalt existence (the constant portions of the image such
       as the buildings, the architecture, the trees) with the
       day-to-day details (the changing lighting, the moving cars, the
       pedestrians). It reinforces how the phases of our lives start to
       run together, day and night, night and day, every day, every
       night.
