Fight the Night

So I was interested in documenting the various ways we try to represent the daylight when the sun goes down. I think we are all afraid of the dark, it must be an evolutionary defense mechanism, or it's the fear of losing ones "self." So we have created all sorts of different artificial lights to keep the darkness at bay. I chose to document the different public lights in my town, I tried to shoot them in a way that gave them a bit of ambiguity and made the light fixture itself seem separate and lonely, we use it every night like a guardian a protector but its just a glass ball of tungsten suspended in the air. The way you quicken your pace through the shadowy patch between street lights, and when standing directly below one you almost feel like a performer. There's something interesting about that.
