A few months ago, while I was walking home from the closing shift at work, I thought to myself about how totally awesome night photographs of my neighborhood would look. It’s kind of interesting how everything looks totally different at night. I love how the streetlights shine magically through the trees and how store signage beckons people almost like lighthouses from far away. Especially in the summer months, when all of the trees are jam-packed with leaves, nights have a great mysterious quality about them. I finally stopped just thinking about doing it and actually went out with my tripod (and Katrina) to take some long-exposure night photographs of Fort Greene. They turned out even better than I expected! I loved how the leaves on trees had an almost extraterrestrial quality about them because of the unusual lighting that streetlights provided.
