Night


There's something about the night that I find fascinating. I'm not sure exactly what it is the draws me to the darkness, but I think the dark simplifies things in a rather dramatic manner. The range of subjects for the photographer is greatly diminished, while at the same time certain images become highlighted by the stark contrasts between light and dark. I haven't explored this avenue as much as I would like. My images remain rather obvious given the bold quality of artificial lighting that makes it's subject stand out against the black of night. I aspire to a greater degree of subtlety in both my choice of subjects, as well as my execution.
