My name is Tom, and I'm a Flickrholic. I revel in the casual praise of strangers and spend far too much time looking at photos. On the plus side, as well as massaging my ego, it does also help to inspire and educate me.
One of the photographers I've come across is a Dutch guy called Sander Meisner. He takes the most amazing shots, most of which seem to have been taken at night. I'm massively jealous, but have also been spurred on to try some night shots myself (not as easy as he makes it look!).
There's a wonderful sense of calm and stillness in his technically brilliant work. Although he shoots these empty urban locations, devoid of human life, they don't seem desolate at all. Instead they seem (to me at least) quite warm and almost friendly, lit up by the traces of streetlighting.
There's a great little article on him here at Analogue Masters, well worth a look.
