Driving up the coast from Half Moon Bay to photograph the Golden Gate Bridge I had visions of fog rolling over the bridge, leaving only its towers exposed. The fog was thick and I knew once we got to the summit of the Marin Headlands we would punch through. Below us would be an isolated pillar towering above a sea of rolling silky white. We never got out of the fog, so I had to duck into an abandoned bunker built during WWII to find a composition of interest.
When life gives you fog, make images underground!
