Nyght Falcon
Falcon brings an eclectic collection of experiences to his work. He was educated at Fordham, Yale and Emory Universities and holds a Ph.D. in Biblical Theology. As an academic he is a published scholar. Falcon has also spent much of his adult life working in technology. In 1998, the same year he began working in photography, he was awarded a prestigious Computerworld-Smithsonian Medal for his accomplishments in technology. A poet and writer, a number of his pieces have been published in literary magazines, Falcon's photographic work reflects the eclectic contours of his life.
As much as his work has changed over the past six years, Falcon's fascination with light and shadow remain. Usually working with only ambient light, his work is known for its rich textures, deep colors and unusual perspective. His early work included documentary photo essays on St Augustine's Church in Brooklyn, the brownstone architecture of West Prospect Park (Brooklyn), as well as major projects that focus on loneliness, grief, and memory. A study of abandoned agricultural buildings begun in 2002 remains a work in progress. He has won a number of awards for his work, "Tracy (06)" received The Gold Award from Digital Camera World of the UK in 2003. In 2005, his photo, "Desire," was also featured in Digital Camera World. In September, 2005, the world premier of The Face of Woman was held in Greensboro, NC. Featuring work by JD and Falcon, the show was a collection of more than sixty photos taken over a two and a half year period that began with the series which included "Tracy (06)". In the past six years Falcon's work has appeared in many publications in the United States and in numerous galleries.
