OK...it's on! David doing his best Carl Sagan impersonation. Light painting works on people too, as long as they can stand totally motionless for at least 30 seconds.

That's awesome! Even w/o David in the pic this would be cool, but the human element is what really makes this a unique photo.
I've never seen light painting that included in-focus people before. Its usually something cheesy, like running around with flashlights to create colored streaks, or writing words in the air. Kudos for pulling this off without the gimmicky look or tricks of typical light painting.
Ya gotta hand it to David. For being the old geezer that he is, he doesn't wobble or sway around too much over the duration of 30 seconds. Hopefully I can say the same about myself when I'm approaching my mid 80's.

Yeah, it's amazing what being sober and a little super glue can do Aaron. Actually, I think I fell asleep standing up (that happens over 80)...

I notice Sean made you put your hands in your pockets; it's probably hard to keep that finger still for 30 seconds...
Seriously, this is a really cool shot! I agree with Aaron's thoughts. Nice to see the human element in one of these.
