After Dark Photo's photostream
|

This past year I have met some tremendous people and extremely talented individuals. This place allowed me to grow exponentially in my ability and confidence.
As you can see from my stream I love the night. I've been bitten and I do believe I am doomed to travel through the shadows and murk every month under a full moon. If you live in the bay area, please do look me up. Shooting with new people challenges me to look at things differently and it gets a little quiet and lonely out there at night.
I'm always looking for new locations to shoot and love to travel for the shot. So if anyone ever has a hair for a road trip for some night shooting....I'm your guy.

Can anybody hear me? Does every story end this way?"

Bob West says:
"Shawn is truly a kindred spirit with a luv of night photography. A visionary individual who forms a image in his mind, and then proceeds to search the location for such an image, but can easily adapt for what nature brings him.
Shawn has a way of sharing his endeavours; with his vivid descriptions, bringing the reader with him on his photographic sessions.
It is truly a pleasure to view Shawn's stream and share the world as he sees it. Although I have never met him it is an honour to call Shawn a friend......"25th May, 2008

"If only the distance between France and USA wasn't so vast, I would have big pleasure to share my passion for photography with Shawn.
He is an incredibly talented night time shooter. Plus a VERY cool guy.
He knows how to capture the night feeling and restore it with a lot of talent.
I'm always very attentive to his photos and to his comments.
In the Flickr community, he is one of the coolest and talented guy, and it is for me a real honor to count him among my close contacts.
Shawn, you rock !"29th January, 2008

Mac Danzig Photography says:
"Shawn is the man. He is a fellow night time/ long exposure/ star trail shooter who early on, asked me for advice on star trails, then proceeded to push the envelope and come up with some of the best shots I've seen. Within just a few months of owning a DSLR, he was producing incredible images.
You gotta respect guys like us who will stand out in the freezing cold all night to get that perfect shot.
Always down for experimenting to get the best shots, his photostream speaks for itself. Keep looking through his photos, you won't be disappointed."5th January, 2008
