Its been about a month now I've been much more a daytime person. I do feel like I've really turned over a new leaf. Getting to bed before the birdies are tweeting and the light is coming through the window... I was however just reading a Weegee thing in the bookstore. He used to lock himself in the conductors booth in the subway and run his film and scoop everybody. Before I guess he got his car. His big thing he said was the fact that he almost never shot during the day. Was up all night. His entire body of work has that edge. But I've had it with the night shift. I've got a lot more done this month being on the day shift. Digital capture really makes for a whole new paradigm in ones approach to nighttime shooting. No real need for fast glass and flash and tripods. And I've not even gone VR yet. Anti Vibration technology. But I'm not saying there is no place now for tripods and flash and fast glass.
