First Snow - City Hall, NYC

Hot! In Severe Weather

Taken Dec. 5, 2003 during the first blizzard of the year - back when we still had real winter in New York - with my Yashica Mat 124G using good old Tri-X. I was in the cold for about an hour for this shot, waiting for that moment when not a single human was in frame. (Difficult at rush hour, even in a blizzard.) It's handheld at about 1/30 of a sec. I had as much snow on me as the benches....
