i went into the electric night still chasing the fog -- it hung around most of the day, the distant backdrop delightfully milky -- there's no way these photos can really convey the amazing glow of the fog highlighted by the electric light...
i love the strangest things -- the fog and the dark stormy clouds and the branches of trees suspended against the background of the gray moody sky -- i love them deeply and intensely but can photography really do them justice? maybe i'll have to paint them to really bring out the power within... like my "magical" chair. oh dear. what silliness. it's just a chair on someone's balcony. but the lighting behind it is breathtaking -- there's the silvery blue light on the left wall, obviously from a tv, and a rosy-yellow diffuse glow on the right, must be a table lamp... all of this seeps across and over the vertical blinds on the balcony, coloring them gentle and light as air, and the chair is just a slim dark silhouette. it's so simple yet stunning. and whoever lives in that apartment is quite certainly oblivious to this unintended magic.
