Black and white photo. A darkened street at night, in the fog. Street lights cast beams of light down, clearly visible as they catch the mist. The street is lined with parked cars. Dark trees and telephone poles are barely visible, black against a dark sky.

Starting off the year with some moody black & white photos which, given how the year has begun, feels appropriate.

I took these on New Year’s Eve while walking through Seattle on my way to a party. I appreciated how the fog worked with the lights; completely obscuring those further away, while making those close by stand out. Maybe that’s the takeaway for the times ahead. In the dark and fog the light closest to you, that you can see, matters even more.

Gear: Nikon Z 7II, Nikon 24mm f1.4

Black and white photo. A street, at night, in the fog. A sidewalk leads up from the dark at the bottom of the frame to, at mid frame, a bicycle with a basket on its kickstand waits silently. Behind it the street continues, street lights casting conical beams of light down into the fog. A building nearby has a few windows lit.
