​It is at night when the light is low, that the city lights itself.  

Cars move along roads, traffic lights change colors;  the passage of time is evidenced in remnants of light that was.  ​

Each city has its own light, affected by atmosphere and bulb choices in the offices, signs and street lamps.  ​

To capture the ephemera of a city and the ambiance of an urban landscape is to let my lens open and give  the city time to allow an extended moment to creep into the photograph.​

These photographs are long-exposure night portraits of various cities around the world.
