A return to the familiar for the briefly uninspired artist is like comfort food for the bedridden. Saltines are what I need when I'm sick. Maybe those night streets are your saltines.
I love these photographs, Nat! They evoke in me similar feelings to what Edward Hopper's work does: loneliness, desire, isolation and also connection, a little mystery, curiosity, a longing to be there in those places _with_ someone. Also a longing to be someone else. Someone in that bar, or on that street, or in one of the rooms behind those windows, or listening to the music advertised on the wall. Thank you for sharing these! ❤🙏
Thanks so much, I’m so pleased you like them. Edward Hopper is a big influence And you’ve hit the nail on the head with the intended themes/emotions. So glad you ‘get it’ 🙃
todd hido might be wonderful, i don't know, didn't look at the work yet but todd tought you good as your post is wonderful
Thank you 🙏 you’re so kind and I’m glad you like them :)
i didn't say it because i'm kind, i said it because that's what i think. btw, i can be very critical too 😁
Thank you 🙏🙃
Very nice Nat. Nothing better than purging the daily world from the mind for the creative world of photography.
I 💯 agree. It helps digest the good and bad — it at least to process it meaningfully.
I really like what you’re doing here and I’m glad I ran across you this morning! Beautiful stuff.
Appreciate that, Sea 🙃

Absolutely. I’ve never had Saltines but they sound like the perfect antidote
Truly evocative photos. I wish I had the vocabulary for how the photos—these night street scenes of darkness and brilliant light—make me feel.
Thanks so much, Marie
