The fog pressed in, not like a curtain but a memory, dense, familiar, almost warm. Ahead, the boats hovered like ghosts, their masts sketching faint lines into the sky. And there it was again, the red one, flickering at the edge of visibility like a thought I couldn’t shake. In this place, names didn’t matter. What mattered was presence. And the sense that someone, just out of view, was waiting.
Every morning before dawn, Old Caleb vanishes into the misty forest with his dog, walking the same path where his daughter disappeared years ago. Locals whisper that he’s searching for her, or that he sees her still, waiting in the fog. Wrapped in loss and legend, Where the Fog Remembers is a haunting tale of devotion, mystery, and the spaces grief refuses to leave.
This is a story about observation transforming into connection, the blurry line between watching life and participating in it, and how seemingly ordinary moments can reveal their hidden depth and beauty.
For me, depth of field is more than a technical choice—it is a vehicle for emotion, storytelling, and artistic vision. The key is intention: by understanding and mastering depth of field, I can transform a simple scene into a poetic meditation, a moment of introspection, or a world unto itself.
UPDATE: Amanda Smith and Kevin Tully interview Eduardo for the A Smith Gallery Awards Collective GalleryTalk Series. This body of work was awarded publication in FotoNostrum Magazine, Special Issue, Dec 2024. For my series “The Uncertain Nature of Reality”, I explore the logic-defying concepts of quantum mechanics from a philosophical point of view while composing and collaging images of ballet dancers in rehearsal.
