Prelude

2025-02-10

As I was walking to a coffee shop this afternoon, I thought to myself that it seemed like the perfect weather for photography—not too cold, not too windy, and with a tiny bit of snow in the air to add texture to everything I shot. I got to the cafe and as I sat down my phone alerted me that a multi-day extreme cold warning was in effect. Oh well. That feels like it might be an inflection point for photos, so here's some stuff I've shot over the last week or so.
