My favorite time of day is night. Whether lit by starlight, moonlight, or man-made light, the world has always been the most visually appealing to me in the night. This may likely be for a number of reasons: first, this is the type of light most of us see least often, and therefore I think it holds a bit of mystery and intrigue. Additionally, depending upon location and time, the number and type of light sources vary considerably resulting in the continuous reinvention of everyday objects, transforming the familiar into the unknown. I'm particularly fond of moonlight because of the way it allows me to see in terms of negative space. I'm also interested by the extent to which nightfall can affect a building's interior and change the way I view light reflecting off of various surfaces.
