Funny I don't recall a big ado about any one particular fog shot,
just about cheez doodles. So I'll take a stab and guess that you're
refering to Charlie's "Pumplin in the Fog" shots taken last year. I
think the crux of most of the comments was that it is a reminder to some
and revelation to others that there's more to pictures than sunny
wedgies. I've never shot trains in that part of the country but my
understanding of climates isn't too shambie, so I think the shot
captures the real favor of the windward side of the pass. It fit works
for me and it's shows people being "rewarded" for atypical pictures (As
I've said before there are limits to my arts fartsy left brain and that
was last years shot).

I don't recall anyone dissing you're fog shots or saying that was
the first time a fog shot was entered. For what its worth one of my
three entries was the SP unit train on the Teh. Mts (see the thumnail
sketches). Part of the reason I shot it at Bealville and not at the
loop was that the loop and points above it were every bit as foggy as
Charlie's shots in Montana. Granted a gray/red SP train with olive drab
loads won't have made the same impression as the orange pumpkins units.
Perhaps sometime between now and June these "returned" shots will make
on the SPORRS page. Until then I'm hoping to see at least one of my
shots show up in Trains. ( :^)
