Intro: Martin Hufnagel

Kao, the boy who cried wolf, got his name due to his sarcastic personality. He’s from California, where he studies photo journalism and conceptual photography. Perhaps its because he’s a cold weather person, that he shoots a lot at night.
When we talked about a possible theme for a series, we found out that we both love the Smashing Pumpkins. Therefore, we decided to name his series after their song 'We Only Come out at Night' from the second half of the Mellon Collie and Infinite Sadness album (which is called 'Twilight to Starlight').

We only come out at night, we only come out at night
The days are much too bright
We only come out at night

And once again, you'll pretend to know me well, my friends
And once again, I'll pretend to know the way
Through the empty space
Through the secret places of the heart 

We only come out at night, we only come out at night
The days are much too bright
We only come out at night

I walk alone, I walk alone to find the way home
I'm on my own, I'm on my own to see the ways
That I can't help the days, you will make it home OK
I know you can, and you can

We only come out at night, we only come out at night
The days are much too bright
We only come out at night

And once again now, you'll pretend to know that
That there's an end, that there's an end to this begin
It will help you sleep at night
It will make it seem that right is always right
Alright?

We only come out at night, we only come out at night
The days are much too bright
We only come out at night

Thank you, Kao, for being part of THE WASTED HOUR.
