This email was sent to me by my friend photographer Jim Schaefer on October 8, 2019. I think his reading of TwiLight is interesting and insightful.

I must confess that it has taken me some time to appreciate your Twilight series. When you first showed these photos to me, I didn't know what to make of them. But now I see the how the flowing transition works from late day to sunset, then through dusk to night. Under the fully lit sky, which we would expect to reveal the earth and all below, the human figures and their surroundings are dark, mere silhouettes, almost specters, like Magritte's "Empire of Light" series of paintings, only even darker below. The human figures lose their individual identities and almost their sense of being living beings: I had to look carefully to determine whether the figure (a child?) in #2 and #3 was alive or a statue placed on a pediment. (Since he is not there in other images of the same spot, I'm assuming he's alive!) Seeing the figures in groups -- whether actual social clusters, as some seem to be, or merely the result of momentarily occupying the same space -- I cannot but think of the silhouetted "dance of death" image at the end of Bergman's "The Seventh Seal" ... which seems to fit with your written statement. The odd thing in the sequence is that for only a brief period, after night has fallen, the figures can be seen fully, if dimly, in artificial light -- but then in the final image, even the lamp loses its power to illuminate.
