Drawings...with light

Centripital Notion, a very chique art/architecture/generally- interesting-stuff blog has a very cool write up about artist Eric Staller, who uses light incorporated with scenery in pretty stunning ways. To quote CN:

"Using a tripod, long exposures, and various light sources (sparklers, Christmas lights wrapped around a hula hoop, etc.), Eric Staller created these beautiful light drawings in New York City during the late 70’s."

Check out more light drawings at Centripital Notion, and more of Eric's artwork at his site.
