Nocturnes
Every nocturne here was exposed once, outdoors, under whatever moon happened to be up that night, and printed without correction. Nothing is composited and nothing is relit after the fact — if a plate looks thin, the night it was made was thin. The order below is the order the moon grew fuller across the making of the collection: crescent, waxing, waxing, waxing, nearly full.
