Bartlesville at Night



















I was teaching Introductory Photography this fall and my students kept asking questions and making observations about their attempts with low light and night situations. I attempted to answer all of their questions but they made me more curious to go out and do my own project of using available light only photography (no flash) after classes. Now I know Brassai's Paris au Nuit (Paris at Night) where he did use flash to expose the going ons in the dark of Paris night. Bartlesville is quite different from but has similar scenes to some of those 1920's Paris in a small city in midwest America.
