Low visibility is a series of photographs that were taken during my extensive cross-country travels gathering images for America 101. For the America 101 paintings, I took photographs that I could paint from which were sharp, specific to each state, and generally colorful. While I was driving, I often encountered rainstorms, fog, haziness and snowstorms, which made the view of the road and the surroundings very subtle and hard to distinguish. It was the opposite of the images I sought for America 101. But these atmospheric scenes were very beautiful and mysterious, and became some of my favorite photographs. I have collected the most evocative of these photos and titled them Low Visibility. The images on the web are from my digital photographs. As physical art objects, they are Ultrachrome pigment inkjet prints, archivally printed by Custom Digital in Seattle.
