On New Year’s Day 1996, Tomio Seike was staying in Bath, Somerset with his wife when he came across an intriguing postcard showing a canal. Out of curiosity he set out to find it.
It was a damp and very foggy day and Seike has always had an aversion to photographing in foggy conditions, but, in spite of this and the prevailing holiday mood, he was captivated by what he discovered – the play of fog and damp on the landscape - and spontaneously captured the moment with his camera.
When he later printed the image, he was so enthusiastic and mesmerised with the result that what could have been considered as a one-off, a fateful accident, had this turned into the beginning of his Waterscapes series.
