“Scenes from the Night Shift”

As a photographer, I work the night shift — when daylight gives way to moonlight, neon, and street light. In cities, especially New York, the darkness awakens me in a way the light of day never can. Gradually, my insomniac wanderings have taken me to the more ambiguous, transitional zones of the city. And I am seeing these not in black and white, as I used to, but in color — as if the visual noise of daytime were transforming itself into haunting nocturnal tonalities.

How often do you do laundry? I do it once a week, on Sundays, but it’s selective based on the article of clothing; certain things, like my favorite jeans, I hardly ever wash.

“The old man was thin and gaunt with deep wrinkles in the back of his neck. The brown blotches of the benevolent skin cancer the sun brings from its reflection on the tropic sea were on his cheeks. The blotches ran well down the sides of his face and his hands had the deep-creased scars from handling heavy fish on the cords. But none of these scars were fresh. They were as old as erosions in a fishless desert.”

- Ernest Hemingway, 1952. Photo by Paul Lavallee, 2007. Beavertail Point in Jamestown, Rhode Island. Holga 120S on AGFA RSX-II ISO 200 slide film, 4 years expired. Used without permission, and I’m sorry about that, but this is just such a great photo.
