Well boys and girls, Atlanta was shut down by a terrible blizzard(four
inches of snow) and record cold temperatures(around 0C).  This was very
fertile ground for photography.

The first selection is two young ladies dressed for the frozen north eating
a pleasant lunch(school of course was canceled due to snow).  Even though
they were in a pleasantly warm deli you would think they were cold.

The second selection is a delivery person making his second delivery of the
day.  It seems in blizzard conditions you must stock up on bread as the food
supply might run out and the family would starve if you didn't have four or
five loaves of bread in the house.  This shot is when he first notices that
I am taking his picture.

The third selection is after he has run one cart of bread in and he was
explaining to me that by Friday he would not have any deliveries to make
because everyone had enough bread to build a swimming pool float.  By this
time he was enjoying the attention.

The fourth selection is from the barber shop that I've been recording over
the past few months.  It seems even in blizzard conditions people get to
work and someone needs their services.  Business seemed a little slow
though.

The fifth selection is from a day or two prior to the snowstorm.  I enjoyed
these two and their good humor as I took their picture.  I'm posting it
because I shot it with the last version of the 90 Elmarit at 2.8.  You will
note that it is very sharp within it's plane of focus.

As always please consume those electrons, it's good for the economy and it's
good for my picture taking.
