Surely not much in the way of views at night, Max. Or does someone from the surf shop leave the light on?
I suppose you gaze at your absent self. Or wonder whether what you saw can really have been.
Have you seen Smoke, the film based on Paul Auster's novel/screenplay? Auggie Wren the cigar shop owner sets up a camera on a tripod and takes a photo out the front of his shop at exactly 9 AM every day. Pointing the same way. He has whole photo albums set out chronologically. When he shows this to a patron, he leaves through the pictures listlessly until he is arrested by a shot of his wife who happened to have been walking by, some days before she was shot in a drive-by killing. Things go from there...
The 24/7 camera offers equally odd - or odder - possibilities.
