Edge of Nocturne - Battery Weed

'Edge of Nocturne - Battery Weed'Johnny Joo, 2022Digital PhotographPhotograph taken during a visit to New York, while wandering Staten Island at night.  Part of Johnny Joo's Edge of Nocturne series--a currently ongoing series (as of April 2024) featuring locations photographed during twilight, also called the “blue hour” into the early darkness of night, or alternatively from the darkness of night into early morning light. This series explores the silence and calming atmosphere that twilight light and early night or morning brings. During these fleeting moments, the world slows its pace, wrapped in a soothing silence that deepens with the fading light. As street lamps flicker to life and homes kindle their evening glow, the lights glow softly against the encroaching dusk. During early morning, we watch that light slowly fade away as the day comes to life. Even when we’re not alone, we can feel peace and solitude in these moments. At times, we may even feel a strange sense of nostalgia
