          uh, probably because the camera was black and white? and at night there would be very little light to take a picture with. so, colors would probably be very washed-out anyway. but, really i don't know.

                  A friend of mine took these, some in the driveway of his house when he lived outside Tampa. He is out west somewhere now... His rig is at the bottom of the page.
