Night News - September, 2008

September is the beginning of the "high season" for night photography here on the West Coast of the USA: the nights are getting longer and the night skies are clearing up along the coast. There are also a few night photography shows coming up.

Greta and Manu Schnetzler have a show called "Surreal Night" at the Sports Basement (1590 Bryant St, San Francisco, CA). The reception is Friday, September 5, 6-8pm.

Also, John Vias will have some of his night photographs included in the "Glimpes of Time" show at the Joyce Gordon Gallery (406 14th St, Oakland, CA) from September 5-29, 2008. The reception is September 5th from 5:30-830pm.

There are more night photography shows coming up, including one in Texas! I'll have more information on that in my next post.

By the way, I'm still working on my review of Troy Paiva's latest book Night Vision: The Art of Urban Exploration. If you can't wait, here's the synopsis: It's absolutely stunning, and it's a must-have for any enthusiast of night photography. If you loved Troy's first book, you'll be amazed at the second book. So go buy it, even before you see my in-depth review.

And if that's enough, you should also buy a copy of Jill Waterman's Night and Low-Light Photography, which includes some of my color night photography from the past few years.
