Night view of a city skyline with tall lit skyscrapers, illuminated buildings, and reflections in the water, with a sandy foreground and some trees with lights at the base.

Electric Twilight

Plate 6 from the Chicago: Light, Shadow and Steel Collection

The exposure blends motion and stillness - sand and lake softened by time, the skyline held sharp against it.

A juxtaposition of organic shorelines and dense urban topography. This expansive panorama captures the transition where the raw elements of Ohio Street Beach meet the rigid concrete canyons of the city during the early evening hours. The exposure-merged piece preserves the electricity of the city’s artificial night illumination while keeping the soft, sweeping motion of the sand and lake in sharp focus.
