Into the dark: A history of night photography

Brassaï's & Kenna's Influence

Thank you for this wonderful article. It was Michael Kenna's work that introduced me to the idea—to the very possibility—of making photographs at night. I then rediscovered Brassaï's Paris work, and I was off, camera and tripod (and mace) in hand. My exploration began in 1994 and continues to this day— http://www.davidsimonton.com/portfolios/--night/
