16 Aerial Views of Houses from the “Night Sun” Series by David Deutsch:

All the photographs in his extensive Night Sun series are aerial images shot at night from a helicopter hovering some four hundred feet above the ground. A Los Angeles native, Deutsch surveyed the city’s vast suburban sprawl, illuminating the ubiquitous flat-roofed bungalows and faux-Spanish villas with a bright police searchlight.

“ The [closure] got press worldwide, after all, not just because it was a silly-season story about superficial LA but because the denial of automotive freedom touches such sensitive nerves in so many places. We have all endured traffic snarls on mini-epic scale; we’ve felt that panic, that sense of helpless trapped terror. We’ve wondered: what if it never ended? ”

Michael Light is a San Francisco-based photographer, bookmaker, and pilot whose focus is the environment and how contemporary American culture relates to it.

The photo above appears to be entitled “Los Angeles 02.12.04, #12”, and not to be available in a book.
