For the Dark Skate series, which began in 2008, Halloran photographed herself while skateboarding in the dark, save a light attached to her, creating self-portraits where her movement abstracts her presence. The relatively long exposure time of each photograph, sometimes up to 7 minutes, would allow the light that was attached to the artist to illuminate the background of the image. At the moment the series includes Dark Skate Los Angeles, Dark Skate/Miami, and Dark Skate/Detroit. A forthcoming series will be set in the Bay Area.
