I like your photo style. I too gave up the mini-tripod for hand-held night shots (surprised how still I could hold the camera). It gives the shots a very vérité effect.

Your photos took me back to my trip to Argentina last year. Thanks.

Thanks, guys! Nice to hear all the lovely compliments and even nicer to think that the photos communicate something specific!

hey kate, hal’s wife here! (not sure if you knew my matador name…)

these are wonderful, so full of amazing and specific details that get at the essence of the city. and i definitely love that it’s also a sort of mediation on typography. very cool.

I love #9…reminds me of the little tacquerias I used to go to when I lived in Mexico.

Thanks you guys!

I take photos without a tripod on very slow shutter speeds and sometimes I’m lucky (meaning that I like the results). I like the element of chance in working like that. I know they’re grainy, but I’m going for a feeling more than I am a perfectly executed razor sharp image.

You’ve perfectly captured the beauty of city lights at night, Kate. I love these (and no, not just #10).
