This photograph was taken a few weeks ago during foggy conditions in Norman. The area was looking a lot like San Francisco (well, the foggy part anyway). So, I drove over to campus to shoot some of the university buildings (which look like Cambridge, England in any weather condition).
I ended up finding my favorite shot of the night doesn’t have any buildings in it at all. But this image captures a mood that was distinctive on this evening. There is just enough detail to show the trees as, uh trees. And, the street lamps aligning the Parrington Oval draw the viewer further into the image.
This is in keeping with what some know me as: a black and white film photographer. But, perhaps the remarkable thing is this is a color image. You can see one small spot of the color blue in the lower right section of the frame. That is a light marking an emergency phone on the Parrington Oval.
The effect of the fog and low light results in an almost entirely monochromatic image.
