Prints: Farm Fog

Back in October of last year, I went on the Hidden Studios Art Tour near Amherst in Wisconsin. That morning there was a heavy fog hanging in the air. Super ominous, but totally comforting at the same time. It was one of those fall days that was damp and cool, comfortable as long as I kept moving. "Crisp" would be a generous description. The damp gets into your bones if you sit still for too long. It was that kind of morning, something only a true child of the north can love.

One of the studio sites was in an old barn in the Amherst area. One of those barns that had tons of character to it that can only be carved into each plank by long exposure to the ever variable Wisconsin climate. I captured a few great shots and threw a cross process curve over the top of the images in Photoshop. Below are the resulting images, and the prints displayed fully framed in their new home in my living room. The images were printed on metallic paper stock which is brilliant in the right light, the photo below does not do them full justice.
