Night & Experimental

Light after dark

I shoot more at night than I probably should. Something about the dark makes light behave strangely — in a good way. Some of these are long exposures, some are experiments, and some are just what a city looks like at 2am when no one's watching.

01Marina Bay Sands — Singapore showing off after dark.

02Light-painting a portrait — she held still, the light didn't.

03Waited an hour for the sky to do this once.

04A flower that looks like it belongs to the night.

05Just the moon. No tricks, just patience.

06Two lamps, one wall, and a color palette I didn't plan.

07Somebody hung the stars low enough to touch.

08Boston's sky caught fire for about four minutes. I was lucky to be there for three.

09Looking out from inside the rock. Sometimes the frame is already there.

10A bridge glowing like it's trying to be a spaceship.

11An empty rink and a Zamboni doing its quiet work.

12Looking up through the leaves — a small window of blue.

13Sunset sneaking in under the branches.

14Night in the city, said no one ever. Just me and one passing car.

15Photo-walkers turned night-crawlers. The red light held us there.

16Rishikesh after dark — the bridge glows long after the crowds go home.
