Neither rain, nor sleet, nor snow, nor ice storm will keep Brad from getting out to document happenings in Philadephia as this series simply titled Snow II shows. The shot at right is of Market St during January's 10.5" of snow. It's a great shot showing people having a little bit of fun during a snowy weekend right in the middle of a deserted, unplowed Market St.
White and grey landscapes dominate this series punctuated by scenes of snow falling so hard and quickly, they are reduced to streaks in front of his lens instead of individual flakes falling. People scurry across streets to take cover around the corners of buildings huddled against the harsh wind while others play in Rittenhouse Square with friends and dogs. Take this essay as a reminder of what is to come in the next few months. I woke up to below freezing temperatures just on the other side of my wall. The 75° from Wednesday is already a distant memory. But Brad has plenty of warm weather shots to keep us thinking positive through the cold to come.
