I was looking at the way atmospheric conditions can influence the landscapes that surround us. The work of both Ansel Adams and Bill Henson was a source of inspiration for me. I used a digital SLR camera to capture these scenes and printed them on rag photographic paper to accentuate the ambiguous edges created by the fog, which served to preserve the atmosphere of the scene when transferred into the photographic format.
