Winter Photography Prints

Winter photography is mostly just work. Not much daylight to use, the cold gets into the gear like it gets into you, and getting out of a warm bed for it takes real negotiation with yourself. I've never even lived anywhere with serious, reliable snow — every shot here meant going and finding some.

It's worth it anyway. A storm can turn an ordinary scene into something that barely looks like this planet, and winter gives you hours to shoot that summer never does. Then it's over, and there's nothing better than going through the shots in front of a fire with something warm in your hand. Each image is available as a limited edition fine art print.
