About this work

This black-and-white photo shows a quiet city street at night. The buildings lean over like sleepy giants. A single streetlamp glows on wet pavement, throwing sharp shadows. Cafetzis shot this in Athens. He stood for hours waiting for the right mix of dark and light. The long exposure makes car taillights blur into red streaks. Look for more of his night scenes at the Museum of Ethnography.
