Here in L.A., by contrast, you have skies that are utterly full, all atmosphere: purely white skies and variations thereof, skies that are all diffraction, all obfuscation, skies that are almost terrestrial. So full of energy.

One of the things I learned after doing the night work was that whatever one might think about L.A., it is actually something else. It’s far more than one’s cheap and hackneyed preconceptions. It shifts constantly. Color work on an overcast day; the difference in seasons; puffy Hudson River School clouds in between spring rainstorms versus late-fall harshness—it’s startling. It’s bigger than the one doing the looking and judging, certainly.
Michael Light's book "LA Day/LA Night" will be released this month. If you happen to be on the Red Line at the Beverly/Vermont Station, you can see his some of his images on their walls.
