About the Nocturnes
The Nocturnes is an organization dedicated to night photography.
Founded by Tim Baskerville in 1991 in San Francisco, it has grown
to become the premier source of information and education pertaining
to night photography, as well as an international community for
night photographers. "Our mission," states Baskerville,
"is to promote night photography, so that people come to think
of it beyond the visual cliches of neon lights, Christmas tree lights
and fireworks."
