Long Exposures/Light Painting

I recently bought and read Troy Paiva's Light Painted Night Photography: The "Lost America" Technique. I remembered reading about his work a couple of years ago and decided to try and mimic his work. Using materials around the house and found in local stores, I've been learning a great deal from trial and error. See a few more of my light-painted photos here: http://dale-daros.tumblr.com/
