Psssst...heavy wildfire smoke in B&W looks misty & beautiful...how do I know? One of my best selling photos was taken in a forest when they were slash burning clearcuts and people interpret it as fog...no way I'm going to wreck their interpretation!

Love it!

I was tempted to go out and shoot this morning, just for the weirdness of it all, but breathing was actually difficult at times. It was really that bad.

Just like smoking a pack of cigarets I bet.

We had smoke here (north coast BC) from forest fires in Siberia once. Crazy.

It is ok if you do not breathe or open your eyes.
