  1. just my 2 cents.. i found it really hard to concentrate on the photos with the white flickering background around them.

  2. Okay, I rarely go out at night and shoot BUT I never thought to shoot in B&W! I need to do this myself! You got some excellent results!

  3. Love 4:47 and all the ensuing in and around those underpasses beneath the train tracks. The last time I was there it was around 11 in the morning and extremely wet, so very different vibes and a lot fewer people!

  4. I like that you often experiment a bit when presenting your photographic work. My affinity for black and white is fulfilled in this video. In my opinion, the black and white film settings and photos give this night video an additional special atmosphere. It seems to me that you are progressing very quickly on this walk. Was it windy and cold? 😉
    Jazz background music is well chosen. 3:13 Great photo with the mirror. I also like 5:26 with the people behind the curtain. And 6:52 the young woman's radiant smile!
    From around 8:56 the bassist’s long “solo” as background music – very nice! My head and feet immediately started bobbing ;-). And 'Hey' – 8:04 – the photo artist himself ;-). 9:12 the part with the man in the phone booth is a nice sequence.
    Thank you for showing your work. I wish you all the best.
