Dickson Street - Fayetteville AR

    I took this photo (film) as a first try at night photography about 2002. You can tell the photos age by the automobiles and motorcycles! Dickson Street is a lively night spot with many bars, dining spots. It is also the home for the Walton Arts Center a theater for first line Broadway shows and the home of the Northwest Arkansas Symphony. Dickson Street is the focus also for the annual Bike Blues & BBQ that attracts thousands of bikers nationwide. The event is the third largest bike rally in the nation.
    Dickson Street is named after Joseph L. Dickson who bought a tract of 20-acres in the 1840’s for his first home anat what is now Dickson Street.
Camera Settings: This was a timed film exposure and I did not keep a record at that time.
Post Processing: Photomatrix Pro 5.1
Location: If Dickson Street has a funky soul it no doubt resides at the intersection of Dickson Street and West Avenue!
