On the photoblog nachtwezens - Dutch for 'night creatures' - you can find photos and video clips that were shot at night. The author of the blog, Sam, says he created this blog so he could gather all his ideas in one spot. When he bought a Nokia 9303 Classic phone four years ago and started taking pictures with it, he noticed that the pictures were not of a ‘good’ quality but that this resulted in a weird glow. For Sam, this weird glow gave a strong mood to the picture. He started mainly with photographing insects at night, and after a friend suggested that he should start a blog, he named it nachtwezens. Sam concentrates his work on street objects and/or art that he finds in Leuven, while he is wandering around in the city at night. That’s another reason why his blog is called nachtwezens, because most of the subjects he photographs are in a dark ethos. But for him, the street art in some of his photos is rather a part of the whole concept than the main purpose of his blog. Sam is more interested in the mood of a surrounding and therefore urban art can help, because for him urban art can influence an image enormously. For Sam, his blog created a way to help him look at the world in a more sober perspective. http://nachtwezens.tumblr.com/tagged/leuven
