edge of winter

First of all – thanks to everyone for sticking with my 28 Faces project during February. When I made the commitment to myself to be a Serious Photographer, one of the things I promised was that I would never stop learning, never stop pushing myself. It took me a long time to become confident enough to photograph people and it has been an exhilarating experience. I’ll keep doing it, but for now – here’s some of the “normal” stuff. For a change.

My family call it “movie snow” – the kind that wafts gently down, huge white flakes landing lightly on everything. And then melts soon, before it gets icy and gray and annoying. We had such a movie snow toward the end of January: it snowed in the night and through the morning. By afternoon the weather system moved on and the melt began.

Within every man and woman, a secret is hidden, and as a photographer it is my task to reveal it if I can.
