Night Falls
During daylight hours, the thick bands of pollution girdling the Los Angeles skyline are a constant reminder of our poor air quality. But at night, the foul, chemical filled air traps the city’s excessive artificial light, and in these long exposure images, our skies turn lush amber, pea soup green, eggplant purple, even bubble gum pink. All these glowing hues obscure the stars and what we think of as a proper night sky. Our lurid skyglow is at once toxic and seductive.
