Late one night I arrived home to a thick fog around my house. I had recently gone through some personal difficulties, and with that mood in mind, I felt the need for some inspiration. I decided to head over to Kits Beach, a five minute walk from my suite in Vancouver. I walked around looking for good light sources, and quickly found a streetlight next to the beach promenade. Positioning the streetlight behind the branches of a nearby tree, I set up a composition which I felt was both moody and optimistic.
