Misty Waters
I've always loved those evocative misty landscapes of the Pictorialists. Like the early work of Peter Henry Emerson (1856-1936), you'll notice there is very little in this photograph that is in sharp focus. That choice is deliberate. Pictorialism was the photographic equivalent of Impressionism in painting. And although out of fashion for many years, there are plenty of photographers exploring its possibilities today.
