“The eye, by long use comes to see even in the darkest cavern: and there is no subject so obscure but we may discern some glimpse of truth by long poring on it.” – George Berkeley (Irish philosopher)

I attended the Art of Photography Show in San Diego last week, what a great opening, two floors and 102 photographs. My Nightscape 1 photograph, in 30″x30″ size, is pictured below next to Jeff Flindt’s amazing underwater “Fiji Under Water” photograph and Vladimir Fanning’s “Horsetail Falls”. Vladimir mentioned that the sun hitting the falls at the precise angle needed for this photograph only happens for 15 minutes once a year!

Yes, but I hope this one to be a bit different.  I’ve been photographing at night for over ten years and in 2001 started to shoot digitally at night. The results were less than inspiring, and before long, I was back to film for my night work.  In 2005 I started shooting with a Canon 1DsII but this camera actually did very well at night, so later that year, I switched over to digital for my night work where I have been ever since.  It was far from a smooth transition.  Shooting digital at night is very different than shooting film at night.  New techniques had to be discovered and invented.  These are still changing, and the way I shoot today is vastly different than three years ago.  I hope this blog will document the journey.
