[Leica] another cold weather photo

ken, this photo is so so beautiful!!

the wildlife tracks remind me instantly of subhankar's photos from alaska!
his book is very beautiful too.

subhankar got into trouble for taking those photos because they
directly contradicted senator ted stevens' assertion in the senate
that there was no wildlife in the ANWR during the winter.
national geographic had arranged for his photographs to be displayed
in the capitol rotunda and senator stevens had them banished to the
basement cafeteria.

poor subhankar never did get to display his lovely photos in the
rotunda in the end.

he sat outside a polar bear den at -60C for weeks
to be the 1st person to get a photo of them waking up and coming
through in the spring.

i had the pleasure of meeting subhankar some years ago -

Here is one more I made, trying to recall times where the temp was below
105.  These are sand dunes in southern Utah, covered in snow, at
sunset.  It was definitely cold.  Very cold.  Rodenstock Sironar 210mm
lens, TriX in D76 1:1.  I have some large darkroom prints of this on
Seagull, but if I print it digitally I think I'll get rid of the
footprints.
