John Bromley’s Night Photography

Bill Volkmer

• I began trading slides through the mail with Toronto’s John F. Bromley in mid-1963, while I was living in Canton, OH.

• Everything John took was top-notch, but the slides I liked best were the ones he took at night.

• As most of you know, nighttime photography with Kodachrome film was tricky at best. Keep that in mind as you view these.
