Excellent interview and I enjoyed looking over David's work.

Thanks John. It was a pleasure talking to him about his work. I am going to take a look at some of your photography now.

The article that goes with this piece is so, so good, and I really can't get over the way I see a juxtaposition between community responses to darkness. Some cities, like Minneapolis, where I live, have groups advocating for fewer streetlamps and better shielding so as to prevent light pollution and allow for a better view of the night sky. There they argue that super bright light is dangerous because your eyes can't adjust to the darkness quickly enough, and so they also advocate for dimmer bulbs in lighting around houses. After reading David's article, I realized what a privilege it is to be able to value darkness, what a symbol of relative safety and confidence in policing and government that is. In Detroit, it seems to be a very different story. I'll never look at those movement-triggered flood lights the same way again!
