Into what world shall I awake
from this bewildering dream?

For this photo assignment I have included two versions of the motion blur image taken during this past weekend’s St. Patrick’s celebration in Old Town. I generally prefer street and motion blur in black and white…yet, the color image with the green and purple does give the image a bit of pop.
