<p>I'm particularly pleased with my artist emulation of Edward Hopper's Nighthawks. I captured the image by pure chance. I had driven into Lincoln on a Sunday night with the intention of taking photos of McDonald's which I did. I decided to walk around a little longer when I came across Franca Manca. The restaurant was a near replica of Hopper's. To make it better I should have gone back when there were fewer people dining but I didn't.</p>
