As a photographer, I am attracted to the luminous light of fog, not just for what it allows me to see, but also for what it obscures.  It forces the viewer to try to imagine what is missing and creates a sense of longing and nostalgia.  This goes against the grain of what we expect from a photograph, which is to accurately and explicitly depict reality.  By taking a minimalist approach in this series of seascapes and landscapes, I am examining not only how we view photographs, but the idea of perception itself.  As a result, in the process of trying to peer through the mist, we become emotionally invested in the act of seeing.
