Great post! I love thinking about stuff like this — why do we make the pictures we make? Fog is mysterious and otherworldly and I think that's what attracts me to it. I'm looking at Winter Pictures right now and I think there are comparisons between them: fog and snow make familiar landscapes look foreign and that's unusual and appealing. And you're right about Noahs — he's the best!
Yes! Snow definitely works in the same way right? Separation, simplification, and the unfamiliar.
A tree in the snow stands alone.
I wonder if people are less (or more?) affected by photos in the fog or snow if they live in a place with an abundance of fog or snow?

Hey Andy I think you can add smog to the list (with fog and snow).
