I present to you a collection of images taken over the course of the last decade as a chronicle of the effects of our modern technologically advanced culture on the night sky. Through various weather conditions including rain, cloud, fog, and stormy conditions there is an ever present effect that may or may not be visible in the night sky during these conditions, and that effect is hundreds if not thousands of individual artificial lights that cast an eerily attractive hue overtop of wherever the light is being produced. This phenomenon is known as Light Pollution. The series itself focuses on small towns and medium sized cities in the Greater Toronto Area through the various weather conditions listed previous. The style of shooting is ultimately unpredictable and is highly reliant on intuition and guesswork. Light meters are rendered useless and you can barely see the great plumes of color and light that appear overtop of the towns and cities that you photograph.
In an interesting series of events it is apparent that the condition of these various weather patterns, as well as things like exposure time have drastic effects on the color casts given from this phenomenon, leaving few set boundaries as to how an image will appear, how bright an image will be, and exactly what kinds of colors you are likely to find.
