Night/Shift

Night/Shift is a book recently published by Random House/the Monacelli Press, with an introduction by Arthur C. Danto. They are color photographs of offbeat New York cityscapes at twilight and dawn. The title Night/Shift refers to the shifting landscape of urban New York as areas are erased and shifted from one purpose to another.

What a nice surprise. The Photo of the Day turns out to be photos of the night by Lynn Saville.

What a wonderful selection of photos.Lynn’s shots invite us into a theatrical landscape where a banal street or abandoned plot is transformed into a charged space. Viewing her work is a visual adventure.

Lynn’s work is GREAT! The real NYC at night. Her use of the night lights and her choices highlight the color in the environment.
BRAVA!!!

This work is excellent. I love the PepsiCo/skyline shot. The darkness behind the sign is just so great when contrasted with the energy of the city. I also dig the look of the Brooklyn Bridge. Great work. Excellent.
