Big Cities, Bright Lights

from the "Paris and Other Night Views, 2005-2007" series Floriane de Lassée
When I was little and we would visit my uncle and aunt in San Francisco, often, it would be dark as we drove home. I remember sitting in the back seat, looking out at the lighted windows of the multistory homes we passed, trying to imagine what was going on inside. Some had curtains, but others didn't, and I could see vases on tables, posters on walls, and often, the flickering blue light of a TV. The nights were cold, but those windows felt so warm and friendly.
   Floriane de Lassée's intriguing nighttime photos contrast near with far, the home with the city, the personal with the public. The link is to her New York series, but you can check out others as well (slideshows): http://www.florianedelassee.com/site/nyc-night-views-2004-2007/
