Blue Specter — Day 030
While it is no secret that photography requires light, a walk down a dark street, fog, lights glowing along the sidewalk or beaming out from a neon sign in a window, begs to be photographed. It is the lack of light, overall, that makes the scene so enticing.
Simply taking a photograph at night was not my goal. Anyone can do that. In this series, I focused on what makes the night so mysterious—dark figured, shadows, unexpected visitors or passersby.
Luminous objects glow, dark structures give shape to the light, a figure crosses into view and the shutter is released. A photograph a thousand people could have taken is now unique with a moment that never comes again.
