Gregg Segal Hollenbeck Park 2004NIGHTSCAPES BY GREGG SEGAL
January 17 – March 3, 2015

During daylight hours, the thick bands of pollution girding the Los Angeles skyline are a constant reminder of how poor our air quality is.  But at night, the foul, chemical filled air traps the city’s excessive artificial light, and in these long exposure images, our skies turn deep emerald green, lush amber, eggplant purple, and bubble gum pink.  All these glowing hues obscure the stars and what we think of as a proper night sky.  As depicted in Gregg Segal’s vivid color photographic series “Nightscapes,” our lurid skyglow is at once toxic and seductive.
