Summer Nights

[Kill Devil Hills, NC]

there’s no time of day that can compare with the daylight hours of summer.  

dawn and dusk make the events of the day possible like a warm up/cool down laps.. slow, gentle.  warm, golden light.  indispensable.

but the night.  summer’s night has refined her craft. she piggy-backs on the endorphins that naturally result from an active summer day.  she’s more tender.  and though she plays to your folly, she’s a caress. 

lately, perhaps due to long days on the water and afternoons in the office, i’ve been waiting to shoot until night has fallen thick and then playing with available light.. at the dinner table.
