Snow!

 

 

 

New York: Central Park

Inspiration:  It snowed last night. Weathermen predicted this blizzard would rank among New York's ten worst snowstorms. Which goes to show that you can't always listen to those who claim to know the weather.  Snow piled up in the city but no where as much as we were told to expect. Since I could actually see concrete on the roads from my window, I thought I would leave my warm apartment to photograph the city. I tromped through slush and melting snow on the city streets for an hour before I reached Central Park. I was surprised to find as many people in the park on this cold wintry day as in the summertime. The snow was untouched and pristine in many areas of the park, while other areas were filled kids and kid-like adults building snowmen and plowing each other with snowballs. As much as I dislike snow, I have to admit it was kinda fun to trek through it today.

What a deception when I realized all the snow was dirty and melted this morning. It is amazing how nice it looked yesterday night, still fresh and white. I didn't have the chance to take nice pictures of people in the snow like you this morning!

I also must admit I still am too shy to approach New Yorkers in the streets to photograph them up-close.

Happy holidays!

heavy snow!! great shot for b&w. totally captured the contrast and the texture of the snow.
yea such a shame to imagine the aftermath when it melts and been tred over with muddy shoes and wheels

i really like those anonymous girls, I say anonymous cause you can barely see them... they so covered up in layers!

We'd definetly try to meet somewhere around the world, i had the same inspiration (ok maybe half the world w/ a camera had the same feeling to bring it out when the snow felt...)
anyway, i love these. As always very realistic and in the same time poetic as you only can make it.

check it out my winter pics : http://picturesupdated.blogspot.Com

Oh, these are wonderful! I don't like the cold and I live where I live in large part because I don't like to deal with snow, but these photos do make me a bit nostalgic for a big ol' work-interrupting, car-stopping, noise-dampening snowstorm. Beautiful.
