City Views:
An Astronaut's View

Tim Kopra

Tim’s photography reflects our planet’s beauty from the unique perspective of space. In particular, he found the bright oranges of the cities’ lights striking against the deep black of the night as the lights defined not only the city limits but represented the people back on Earth clustered in communities with tentacles of light to connect with other communities. Photographing cities from space was also very personal for Tim as he chose cities where friends and family lived, linking him with them while he was away. This exhibit includes Los Angeles, as well as New York, Paris, and London.
