Legends of The Fog

Tiho Trichkov’s “Legends of the Fog” has just been named a National Geographic Honorable Mention Winner.
It’s a rare to find a photographer who can capture one brilliant moment after another. Tiho Trichkov is one of those exceptional pros. His latest, award-winning piece, “Legends of the Fog” was snapped on the Blue Ridge Parkway. The work is distinguished as a National Geographic Honorable Mention Winner. Tiho describes how he captured his forest image, blanketed in a gauzy mantle of fog, with hints of fall color peeking through the trees. “I was driving home from Asheville. Since it was a morning of mist and fog, I took the scenic Blue Ridge Parkway. There was no rush, no traffic. Covid had slowed life to a crawl. I pulled over, drawn to the valley atmospherics. I grabbed my camera and zoomed in into the forest. The composition and mood of the morning were unique. It was like the mountains were whispering to me. That side trip paid off. Mother Nature gave me a gift: I was creating Impressionism, not with paints, but with my camera.” Tiho, owner of HOP Gallery (House of Pics), came to the States in 2007. Since then, he’s lived-in or visited nearly every corner of the U.S., the Northwest excepted. But it was the North Carolina mountains where he planted his feet, tripod, and gallery – in the middle of Highlands. “Legends of the Fog” is a limited edition of 30. Tiho looks forward to sharing his work with collectors in the area. Call him at (828) 200-0618, email [email protected], or visit HOP and schedule a visit to hear firsthand his account of the fog and mist that magical morning.
