One evening in late 2019, author and photographer Arthur Drooker was watching the sunset from his window overlooking the Pacific Ocean and felt inspired to pick up his camera. Over nearly four years, he put together a series of abstract photographs of twilight from the Sea Ranch on the northern California coast. The resulting soft-focus photographs have been collected in a book, Twilight. “It is the time of day I find most captivating,” says Drooker. “It literally and figuratively refers to gradual decline, so there’s a feeling of melancholy associated with it. It’s a time for reflection.”
