Here are a few items to put a lid on the year 2010:

Night Work by a number of the "usual suspects" can be viewed at San Francisco City Hall (Ground Level) thru January 14, 2011. The exhibit, Night/Light: Bay Area Photographers Take Aim After Dark, was juried by our own Tim Baskerville, along with Aimee Le Duc, Gallery Manager, San Francisco Arts Commission Gallery; and Thom Sempere, Executive Director, PhotoAlliance. Tim produced a thoughtful perspective on Bay area Night Photography with his published statement for the show. BTW, those local luminaries, whose name you'll no doubt recognize are as follows:
Linda Fitch, Andy Frazer, Lenny Greenwald, Mark Jaremko, Shawn Peterson, Greta & Manu Schnetzler, and Lena Tsakami.

Our latest online exhibit, The Nocturnes: 20/Ten is now live! This show introduces a little diferent format than seen in our previous biennials, in that the final selections by the Jurors was limited to Twenty pieces by Ten artists - "Twenty/Ten." Why not have a look, or two - and let us know what you think, by leaving a comment on our Blog.

Registrations are now being accepted for the Night Photography course, taught by Tim at the College of Marin, Kentfield campus, starting February 4, 2010. This is a seven-week course, and a perfect followup for those Nocturnists who have taken one or more workshops with The Nocturnes, in which one can 'stretch' out a bit - it's also good as an introduction to the topic of Night Photography (NPy). All the details are here.

At this time we would to ennounce some NEW Course offerings - at the San Francisco Photo Center in the recently remodeled Harvey Milk Arts Center. Three different courses start on January 6, 2011 (So Hurry!) - a History of Night Photography (Jan 6), an Introduction to Night Photography, and an Advanced Night Photography. We are also working on an exhibit of student work from the Advanced Course to be held at the Center in 2011. Look for more new of event held at this exciting new venue in 2011! BTW, Tim currently has work from two series on display in the grand room of the Photo Center - five images from the Mare Island Nocturnes, and five from the Dream Date series!

NightNews FLASH! (Yeah, we're on the 24/7 news cycle!)

We just received this message today from Michael Yochum: "Hope some/all of The Nocturnes will submit to FOTO juried exhibition at ARC Gallery. Love / own many of your works!
> http://arc-sf.com/submissions.html"

AND THIS - Just in!

"FOTO submission has been extended until Jan 7th (although it shows a 12/31 deadline). So if you can let all know that they actually have until the 7th that would be awesome."
