Steve Harper: Self Asleep 4.5 Hours

Self Asleep 4.5 Hours, Potrero Hill, San Francisco, 1984 -- by Steve Harper

Last October I blogged about night photographer Steve Harper, who I had the pleasure of meeting last year. In addition to his website, Steve has recently started a blog, and has been posting images on Flickr.

Last year at the Mono Lake Night Photography Workshop, Steve talked about how he made the Self Asleep image above by using a very low wattage bulb that was further dimmed by diffusing the overhead lamp. Such a haunting and ethereal image.
