Today Pittsburgh received 18 inches of snow; I verified this by standing in my driveway with a measuring tape and seeing for myself.
It was astoundingly beautiful out there. I captured about 50 images on digital, 45 on medium format (Pan F b&w and Velvia) and 100 or so on 35mm film (Ektar, HP5, and so forth). I have so many images I want to share, I’ll just post some of the digital below.
Just in case anyone asks, 18 inches is a lot of snow to move, whether it be by shovel or by snow blower. Various other images below:





Beautiful! Looking forward to seeing more.
Chris, it is certainly beautiful and I’ll enjoy seeing any photos you might care to share but the snow itself, you can keep!
These snow photos are wonderful!
That’s awesome! You have to be fast when this happens, and get out and catch images before we, all animals and vehicles breaks the silent solitude that rest over everything.
The world has turned upside down. Those of us living on the downwind side of a great lake are usually the ones digging out of snowfalls measured in feet. So far this year, it’s all backwards. Baltimore, MD has a higher YTD total (so far) than Rochester, NY. Talk about unlikely events. Of course, Baltimore could be shut down for days. My sister-in-law is a teacher there and she says they may not have school all week. Here in Rochester-land, it might buy kids one snow day, if the storm hits on the same day.
Great images, Chris, especially the second one.
a challenge to deal with, but beautiful subject matter. Love the color contrast in the top image.
Paul M isn’t the only one to think the world is upside down, warmest Jan on record for the NW. They are trucking snow for part of the Olympics in Vancouver and the flowers are coming up here at my house. The tulip festival may be to late for the blooms if this keeps up.
Like what the 5D is doing with your Nik conversions Chris.
Ove, that’s a beautiful comment.
Paul, thank you.
The Nik tools have really been a help to me. They (Nik) are having a conference in May that I would love to go to.
