so gorgeous--I became obsessed with the snow last winter--we had more than most winters in Anchorage, and again this year...and read about the early photographers of snow, the woman who made snowflakes into art, and the work of Ukichiro Nakaya. It's just magical, the transformation and ephemerality of snow. Love these images. ❄️

Thank you! Everyone should be obsessed with snow 🤣 if you take a moment to really look at it, really think about it. It's just endlessly lovely, with such room for creative exploration. We have a book called "The Snowflake: Winter's Frozen Artistry" in which Kenneth Libbrecht and Rachel Wing follow along similar lines to Ukichiro Nakaya, documenting individual snowflakes and just generally delighting in all-things-snow-related :)

Excellent descriptions and really like the opening video and the icicle photos. That description of how a little warmth sets things in motion again is really nice

Thank you! It's a favorite of mine, too - something about the tension, I think, of something so tiny, lovely, and precarious :)
