Photographer Captures the Fascinating World From Dusk to Dawn

What was the impetus for “Night on Earth”? Did you set out to photograph every continent in the dark, or did you realize you had already taken some great photos and went on to finish the collection?

My publisher, Earth Aware Editions, came to me with the idea. My photo editor and I scrambled to put together a proposal and found that over forty years I had amassed quite the collection of imagery captured between dusk and dawn. Of course, the image quality greatly varied over the years, and I made a push during my travels to include more night photography with the latest available Canon cameras.

I never want my books to look like I just slapped together a bunch of old photos so I always work like mad to photograph new subjects, places and phenomena and try to reshoot familiar subjects in new ways. I am never satisfied and always try to push myself artistically.
