Excellent
New Interview
It's
the most comprehensive one I've ever done, covering subjects
not usually broached in other interviews. I rattle on about
my influences, the reasons for, and meaning of the explosion
in popularity of urban exploration on a world-wide scale, the
philosophy behind the process of night photography, how my brother
(also a well known night photographer) and I avoid stepping
on each other's creative toes, and many details about my new
book:
The
Light-Painter of Mojave D: An Interview with Troy Paiva

Lost
America on TV!
Last
summer I was invited out to Nevada by the crew of the British
TV show "Artland" to be interviewed about my night
photography and light painting. We set up at dusk by the side
of Interstate 80 near Winnemucca and pretended to do a full
moon night shot by dusk-light. Host Toby Amies interviewed me
for a full 25 minutes as semis roared by, mosquitoes chewed
our earlobes off and the sky turned a deep indigo. The whole
thing was hilarious and surreal. Most of the interview ended
up on the cutting room floor, but it's still a pretty interesting
piece.
