Description Photo taken last week during one of several blizzards we've had up here. The snowbanks are now over my head. Warning: huge file is huge!

Taken with Ilford HP5+ and a Minolta SRT201 with zoom lens, just outside the library, facing the main street. Processed and printed by yours truly, in the campus darkroom while dancing around like a loon under the safe lights to Rob Zombie.

On the negatives immediately before this one, the lonely professor there is not present. It almost seems like he just appears from thin air as the snow clears.



...It's snowing again. IT NEVER ENDS.

Don't remind me about the weather... The other day was prime for Boktai but once classes were finally over it got cold and cloudy again.

No Fair! I've never seen snow in real life. I like living in Miami and all but sometimes you get tired of it.

Looks almost like the landscape around here in whatever part of Canada I claim to be from. I love the surrealism of snow in the photo, makes it a neat contrast with the lifelessness of the trees.

Well, it's Northern New England, so it's not that far off in relative terms of borders. The snow just looked so pretty - everything was covered in it and there were hardly any people about, as everyone was trying to get home or back to the dorms. It got so thick you could hardly see and people seemed to just appear and disappear, like a ghost story or something. It was a little tough on the f-stops, though. My poor ancient lightmeter was throwing a fit. DX

this is an amazing shot .. from a distance , it kind of reminds me of a shot by Ansel Adams where the Jogger is running into the fog .

Thanks. I saw the shot line up as I was spinning around someone coming out of the library, set up and took a couple of shots right there.

Really? Ha! That's kind of neat. I don't think I've seen that one in a dog's age.

Apart from the bone-chilling cold four months out of the year, it's great!

Thanks. Classes were canceled that day, so I just picked up my camera and headed out.

I go to school in a cold and isolated place in northern New England. We get heaps of snow!
