It’s been told that the “night time is the right time”, well at least it’s a fun time. I took my first night photograph in Australia stuck inside a bus stop. It was pouring saltwater and I had to wait it out. The lights of the oncoming traffic drew my eye so I propped up my camera and shot. I probably took a ton of shots to get the light right, but thanks to digital review it wouldn’t cost me but time to learn.
8 months later I would take a night photograph on my friend’s farm that changed my internal direction. It’s probably the most influential moment I’ve had as a photographer. It turned me on, I didn’t even know I was plugged in but it lite a fire in me.
I think it’s only fitting that my focus has come back to night photography. Now focus…
