When the thermometer hits 100 degrees or more in Phoenix, residents appreciate the misting systems that send clouds of cooling water droplets into the air. This fellow is adjusting a misting system in an arcade outside the entrance to a downtown Phoenix hotel. I had to increase my exposure to accommodate the deep shadows under the arcade, which meant that everything outside the arches of the arcade would be over-exposed. I rarely will deliberately over expose a photograph, but in this case, the over exposure works as expression. The clutter beyond the arches vanishes in a haze of white heat, making the mist that oozes from the ceiling of the arcade seem even cooler. Black and white was the logical choice for such an image. It removes distracting traces of color in the over-exposed areas, and underscores the presence of both the heat and the cooling wet mist.
