True snow in Raleigh is a rare thing. We normally get a disgusting, ice-snow slurry. The snow this morning was fine and powdery, and made excellent snow cream! This mom and her child were out as early as I was, tramping bravely through the cold street. I shot this with Kodak BW400CN film. Resolution: 1818x1228
Until this year, I've never taken the time to explore the trails behind the North Carolina Museum of Art. I found this beautiful tree next to a pond. The tree is green, but in infrared light, looks like it is glowing with light. Leaves and plants tend to reflect a lot of infrared light, giving them the appearance of being made of snow or ice.
We took our eighth graders to Washington, D.C. for a recent field trip. I took an old Canon EOS 650 with me, loaded with a 36-exposure roll of Kodak BW400CN. One of our many stops was the WWII memorial. This is a wall of gold stars, with each star representing 100 people who died. There are 4,000 stars in total. This was and is always a very sombering thing to visit, even if it was lost on our students.
