Standing in the cold, windy darkness of the early morning, I didn't know what kind of conditions I would get when the sun came up. This is the risk we take as photographers. In order to get the shot, we need put ourselves in the right place, just in case we get lucky.

As the sun came up, the sky absolutely exploded with color. The signature San Francisco fog rolling in from the Pacific, blanketing the iconic bridge. I was thrilled to capture one of my bucket list shots, "Beyond the Fog".
