    Honorable Mention in Architecture / Buildings

"The Library in Fog" is a series of photographs I capture on the morning of a dramatically foggy day. Many buildings further highlight their perspective and structure in the light of sunny days. But the John F. Kennedy Presidential Library and Museum is a different story in foggy weather. The building is close to the water and the fog seems to isolate it from the world. The fog blocks everything distant around the buildings, which makes the buildings with similar tones of colors blend more mysteriously into the fog of that day.

New York-based Chris King left five years of business study to pursue a career in photography and filmmaking. He takes a comprehensive approach to his practice that he finds more fulfilling artistically, working in a range of genres that includes landscape, portraiture, and still life, and is experienced in such technical fields as aerial and architectural photography. His photographs have garnered him numerous international awards, with particular recognition given to his astrophotography.
