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. http://www.photo.net/photodb/photo?photo_id=508473 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. http://www.photo.net/photodb/photo?photo_id=508477 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. http://www.photo.net/photodb/photo?photo_id=508481 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. http://www.photo.net/photodb/photo?photo_id=508489 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. http://www.photo.net/photodb/photo?photo_id=508495 For those with dial up the index is at http://www.photo.net/photodb/index.tcl As always please consume those electrons, it's good for the economy and it's good for my picture taking.
