Did you know that Mud Puddle Toys is celebrating their 10th year anniversary? Seemed appropriate to post this image taken in early February of this year. I mentioned in the other black and white foggy images that I had ventured out a few days after the Blizzard passed when rain and warmth led to a rapid snow melt. Around sunset, that combination led to great fog and I photographed Washington Street in the eerie light. As I made my way down the street, I stopped at the corner of Washington and Pleasant in the hopes that a car would come down the hill. The headlights would serve to backlight the fog and bring out the effect of the mist.
It took a bit of patience but a car finally did come around and the scene lit up beautifully. I processed this (like the other images taken that night) as a black and white to highlight the feel and texture of the fog. I chose to include the snow bank in the foreground to frame the street. Just wish that one car hadn’t been parked there…
