Broadway at Night, taken by Alvin Langdon Coburn in 1910

The Met is one of my all-time favorite art museums and they have a couple of cool exhibitions there right now. One that stuck out to me was the Night Vision: Photography After Dark, which is there until September 18th. Whenever we take photos at night, it comes out too bright because of the flash, or too dark because of no flash, or too weirdly colored because of the night mode. It’d like to see how these established photographers tackled that challenge.

One of the featured photographers, Alfred Stieglitz, is considered to be one of the first photographers to photograph at night. This exhibition features night photos from the late 1890’s to now. It’d be cool to see this timeline of photos and compare them to see how the camera has evolved.
