Thursday’s NYT featured this article on Bert Teunissen, a Dutch commercial photographer who’s been working on documenting traditional day lit structures. There’s fabulous dark quality to the light in these structures. It’s the kind of light that I associate with high windows and northern latitudes, but I’m not entirely sure if other factors are at play. And I fear that Teunissen’s right that this kind of light is dissapearing with these structures; whenever I catch a glimpse of it, I try to grab a portrait because it’s just such gorgeous light.

While I doubt this article will create a firestorm of Wallian proportions, Teunissen’s photography documents some of the simplest and most profound beauty. Take a look at Teunissen’s website while you are at it.
