A trip to the coast in Essex, England had been well overdue for some long exposure coastal photography. The sun was not playing ball this evening, but what kept playing over in my head was how the lighthouse resembled the pixelated enemy alien. So I created my tribute to the highest-grossing video game of all time and for all those who spent hours trying to defeat wave after wave of descending aliens with just a moving horizontal laser.
