Let's jump back in time, to 2005..

I took this artsy fartsy snapshot during one of the dances at MFF 2005, playing with the settings on my brick-of-a-camera to see if I can do anything fancy with it. I stuck the camera on a tripod, cranked up the exposure settings, and it suddenly produced this gem of a pic after 15 seconds.

This was taken in the old Hyatt Regency hotel in Schaumburg, IL. I doubt that this ballroom still has this interior design, after they did a full remodel in 2007/2008. If so, you'll probably run into ghosts on the dance floor from the several MFF cons held in this hotel! Boy do I miss that place! I still say that hotel was one of the best furry con hotels during the time.
