In every case something luminous and strangely mesmerizing is brought "to light", transforming the photograph into an entirely different experience, and making our hearts beat faster. <a href="http://lh6.google.ca/abramsv/R5VF2EKUsKI/AAAAAAAAElk/GpI3P7vVCDU/s1600-h/2088899563_83abca62c4_o.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://lh6.google.ca/abramsv/R5VF2EKUsKI/AAAAAAAAElk/GpI3P7vVCDU/2088899563_83abca62c4_o.jpg?imgmax=512" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /></a>It all started with Eric Staller<a href="http://ericstaller.com/" target="_blank">Eric Staller</a> is a sculptor more known for the permanent artwork in public places, but also for his experimentation with light. His light drawings and sculptures date as far back as the late 70s (definitely in-line with the disco-era sensibilities). He was perhaps the first photographer to paint light into live urban environment:<a href="http://ericstaller.com/" target="_blank"><img src="http://lh4.google.ca/abramsv/R5VWmkKUsqI/AAAAAAAAEqA/jh48aJXhp3c/1_HR04_088.jpg.file.jpg?imgmax=512" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /></a><a href="http://ericstaller.com/" target="_blank"><img src="http://lh6.google.ca/abramsv/R5VWmEKUspI/AAAAAAAAEp4/_CQKqOCXpXE/1_HR01_004.jpg.file.jpg?imgmax=512" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /></a><a href="http://ericstaller.com/" target="_blank"><img src="http://lh6.google.ca/abramsv/R5VWnEKUsrI/AAAAAAAAEqI/09WxetFAyQs/1_HR01_002.jpg.file.jpg?imgmax=512" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /></a><a href="http://ericstaller.com/" target="_blank"><img src="http://lh4.google.ca/abramsv/R5VWnkKUssI/AAAAAAAAEqQ/FLLGPVQMLx0/1_HR03_057.jpg.file.jpg?imgmax=512" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /></a><a href="http://ericstaller.com/" target="_blank"><img src="http://lh6.google.ca/abramsv/R5VWoEKUstI/AAAAAAAAEqY/t4_nXGKKh8k/1_HR04_102.jpg.file.jpg?imgmax=512" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /></a>Some of these New York light-scapes still look like perfect examples of the technique. Simply glorious, after all these years.No Lens, Only Intricate Light<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/alanjaras" target="_blank">Alan Jaras</a> (aka "Reciprocity") captures surreal refraction patterns of light, passing through molded plastic. Amazingly, these photos are made the "natural way", without the use of a camera lens, or retouching by Photoshop. His flickr photostream is one of the most interesting and adventurous on the web.<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/alanjaras/290362825/" target="_blank"><img src="http://lh4.google.ca/abramsv/R5VF2kKUsLI/AAAAAAAAEls/p4mlJxKkTvQ/s800/290362825_3dd4ce2f55.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /></a><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/alanjaras/234793010/in/set-72057594139866667/" target="_blank"><img src="http://lh5.google.ca/abramsv/R5VF20KUsMI/AAAAAAAAEl0/QZdy1dN2q98/s800/234793010_f712d5fbfb.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /></a>Light Among the RuinsAbandoned & ghastly places achieve a new license to life with these urban light explorations. The nameless artists responsible for these "graffitis of light" perhaps live somewhere nearby and make it their creative statement to turn ugly venues into canvases of "cleansing" light.<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photo_zoom.gne?id=1912913906&size=o" target="_blank"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2089/1912913906_b9ebec621d.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /></a>Some other examples of "painting with light":<a href="http://lh5.google.ca/abramsv/R5VY90KUsuI/AAAAAAAAEqg/g54M5cTd_8E/s1600-h/303.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://lh5.google.ca/abramsv/R5VY90KUsuI/AAAAAAAAEqg/g54M5cTd_8E/303.jpg?imgmax=512" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /></a><a href="http://lh6.google.ca/abramsv/R5VY-EKUsvI/AAAAAAAAEqo/A7if5rb5Nmc/s1600-h/00053qh6.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://lh6.google.ca/abramsv/R5VY-EKUsvI/AAAAAAAAEqo/A7if5rb5Nmc/00053qh6.jpg?imgmax=512" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /></a><a href="http://lh3.google.ca/abramsv/R5VY-UKUswI/AAAAAAAAEqw/rRzZyCjwGGg/s1600-h/00054kfd.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://lh3.google.ca/abramsv/R5VY-UKUswI/AAAAAAAAEqw/rRzZyCjwGGg/00054kfd.jpg?imgmax=512" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /></a><a href="http://lh6.google.ca/abramsv/R5VF7EKUsQI/AAAAAAAAEmU/ndlhBUGj--M/s1600-h/2048484802_8c9b2237b2.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://lh6.google.ca/abramsv/R5VF7EKUsQI/AAAAAAAAEmU/ndlhBUGj--M/2048484802_8c9b2237b2.jpg?imgmax=512" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /></a>Mystery and Melancholy of a StreetOne word: "heavenly".

Now you do.It's impossible not to fall in love with the sea and the coast when seeing photography of <a href="http://www.burnblue.com/" target="_blank">Toby Keller</a>, aka BurnBlue. His light painting technique is often subtle, and it's hard to tell where the natural light ends and the "super"-natural light begins. Waves provide the long-exposure soft glow, and deep blue ghost-like apparitions seem to lure us, mere mortals, into their marvelous portals, and into an infinite light. (you have to excuse my purple prose, these photos are simply too magical).<a href="http://lh4.google.ca/abramsv/R5VO6kKUseI/AAAAAAAAEoc/RNaQ6zt4P7Y/s1600-h/01_08_2007_0475307001185951546_toby_keller.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://lh4.google.ca/abramsv/R5VO6kKUseI/AAAAAAAAEoc/RNaQ6zt4P7Y/01_08_2007_0475307001185951546_toby_keller.jpg?imgmax=512" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /></a><a href="http://lh5.google.ca/abramsv/R5VO80KUsjI/AAAAAAAAEpE/3_kIjwSPAxg/s1600-h/01_08_2007_0625512001185951546_toby_keller.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://lh5.google.ca/abramsv/R5VO80KUsjI/AAAAAAAAEpE/3_kIjwSPAxg/01_08_2007_0625512001185951546_toby_keller.jpg?imgmax=512" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /></a><a href="http://lh3.google.ca/abramsv/R5VO9UKUskI/AAAAAAAAEpM/f80RSY7txAQ/s1600-h/01_08_2007_0634865001185951546_toby_keller.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://lh3.google.ca/abramsv/R5VO9UKUskI/AAAAAAAAEpM/f80RSY7txAQ/01_08_2007_0634865001185951546_toby_keller.jpg?imgmax=512" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /></a><a href="http://lh6.google.ca/abramsv/R5VO-EKUsmI/AAAAAAAAEpg/0dgNJrukwU0/s1600-h/01_08_2007_0886997001185951546_toby_keller.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://lh6.google.ca/abramsv/R5VO-EKUsmI/AAAAAAAAEpg/0dgNJrukwU0/s800/01_08_2007_0886997001185951546_toby_keller.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /></a><a href="http://lh3.google.ca/abramsv/R5VO7UKUsgI/AAAAAAAAEos/3K28OgoFHSk/s1600-h/01_08_2007_0561719001185951546_toby_keller.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://lh3.google.ca/abramsv/R5VO7UKUsgI/AAAAAAAAEos/3K28OgoFHSk/01_08_2007_0561719001185951546_toby_keller.jpg?imgmax=512" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /></a><a href="http://lh5.google.ca/abramsv/R5VO70KUshI/AAAAAAAAEo0/Nw4Af42SmCw/s1600-h/01_08_2007_0567838001185951546_toby_keller.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://lh5.google.ca/abramsv/R5VO70KUshI/AAAAAAAAEo0/Nw4Af42SmCw/01_08_2007_0567838001185951546_toby_keller.jpg?imgmax=512" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /></a><a href="http://lh6.google.ca/abramsv/R5VO7EKUsfI/AAAAAAAAEok/uQMHWlsiXOA/s1600-h/01_08_2007_0486953001185951546_toby_keller.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://lh6.google.ca/abramsv/R5VO7EKUsfI/AAAAAAAAEok/uQMHWlsiXOA/01_08_2007_0486953001185951546_toby_keller.jpg?imgmax=512" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /></a><a href="http://lh4.google.ca/abramsv/R5VO-kKUsnI/AAAAAAAAEpo/7gcIxZMIQqA/s1600-h/01_08_2007_0921657001185951546_toby_keller.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://lh4.google.ca/abramsv/R5VO-kKUsnI/AAAAAAAAEpo/7gcIxZMIQqA/s800/01_08_2007_0921657001185951546_toby_keller.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /></a>And yet, no matter how skillful you are as a painter, natural light is still the winner.
