Lost America on flickr

I post images to my flickr page almost every day. It's kind of like a blog, except I don't have to actually say anything. There are over 2,000 night images stored there, so when you feel like you've seen everything here, there's over 1,500 other images on flickr for you to enjoy.

Lost America on TV!

In the summer of 2007, I was invited out to Nevada by the crew of the British TV show "Artland" to be interviewed about my night photography and light painting. We set up at dusk by the side of Interstate 80 near Winnemucca and pretended to do a full moon night shot by dusk-light. Host Toby Amies interviewed me for a full 25 minutes as semis roared by, mosquitoes chewed our earlobes off and the sky turned a deep indigo. The whole thing was hilarious and surreal. Most of the interview ended up on the cutting room floor, but it's still a pretty interesting piece.



Other places around the web

"The Night of the Living Photographers" is Andy Frazer's 19 minute documentary about night photography, featuring work by and interviews with Larrie Thomson, Lance Keimig, Howie Spielman, my brother Tom and I. It's an entertaining piece, check it out.

At the wonderfully comprehensive Drive-ins.com website, Jennifer Sherer is running a 7 image show of some of my Drive-in night shots. There are a few photos there that are exclusive to the website. Great site, check it out.

At The Nocturnes site, I have an extensive show in their gallery section which contains almost 10 exclusive images. A bunch of my work that you can't see anyplace else.
