Jurors Comments:
"I was so impressed by the quality of work submitted here. I love night-time photography and don’t often see a call for it. Many of the works submitted embodied that mysterious and captivating quality of those “nocturnal hours.” I was particularly drawn to and awed by the images that took best advantage of that dwindling light, but didn’t solely depend on it. The strong compositions and the narratives— like short stories— seen within that available light were really wonderful. I loved the mystery and wanted to know more. Huge appreciation to Laurie Freitag for the invitation to jury this exhibit, and for all those who submitted your images.. It was an honor to view them.. You make me want to go out and photograph in that kind of light."
-Diana H. Bloomfield
"Night photography seems not to get the attention it deserves. It was a pleasure to view the work for this call. I was drawn to the images that invited you in and let you come up with your own stories. Thank you to Laurie Freitag for the invitation to jury this exhibit, and thank you to the photographers, who submitted their work."
-Constance Rosenthal

THE CALL:
What is it about the transformative magic of the night-time hours that we find so appealing? Maybe it’s those hours when the most mundane, as seen in the unforgiving light of day, becomes shrouded in a kind of luminous, half-hidden mystery. The falling and disappearing light softens our surroundings and turns the familiar into the strange and unknown. Our visual narratives suddenly seem rife with questions, rather than answers. In this call, we would love to see your night-time narratives. Show us how your world transforms into something else altogether in those enigmatic nocturnal hours.
