This series of images capture a downtown business as it is decked out in a fresh blanket of snow. When I say the perfect storm, what I mean is to be able to get these shots, it took the right combination of circumstances to come together. The snow began falling on a Saturday afternoon and was supposed to continue all night into early Sunday so I had a destination in mind and left the house at 5am. As I was driving to my chosen spot which was actually yesterdays photo location, I came into the square of this town and just couldn’t pass up the shots I saw there. The snow was still coming down so out came the golf umbrella and I hit the ground running. The second key to success was it being Sunday morning and the whole world was snoozing peacefully in their warm beds while I kept thinking this is awesome being out here all by myself. No walkers, no snowblowers or snow removal crews as far as the eye could see! At one point the wind picked up and Snow blew in my lens, which I quickly wiped off but without realizing it I left a fine smudge which caused some of the street lights to flare. At one point I was shooting in the middle of the normally busy street with my tripod because it was so quiet! I played around for an hour and a half in the pristine landscape thinking how everything came together in this unique moment. You could see this repeat itself in two weeks or not for the next 50 years and that is part of what makes the photographic journey worthwhile!
