Strasbourg’s six municipalities are interwoven with an incredibly efficient tramway system. The trams travel flush to the street and glide like space-age worms, each several cars long and with open gangways.

While I\’d like to say that shooting events like Pillow Fight Day in Toronto requires great photographic skill, I\’d have to be lying. An 8 p.m. start time means ISOs cranked up high, or a lot of time spent waiting for your flash to recharge. I don\’t actually own a flash, so I expected a [...]
