For those of us who live in the northern hemisphere, the ground is probably covered in snow for many of us by this time of the season. So what better reason is there to get out and photograph all that white fluffy stuff?
Here is that wintery white stuff in some snowy day images:

I never thought I’d say it, but it’s been fun dabbling with film again. While I still haven’t resorted to 35mm film in my old SLR I have been enjoying my time with an ONDU pinhole camera. I bought this camera via a Kickstarter campaign in 2013. Turns out ONDU is running a Kickstarter campaign for their 2nd generation pinhole cameras. If this type of photography interests you I highly recommend their cameras.

Return of Film: Snowy Sunrise at Gates of the Valley
It’s been 10 years since I last took photographs with film. My backing a pinhole camera Kickstarter project, the Ondu camera, is what swayed me to take another stab at shooting film. The camera I chose from the project is a 6×12 medium format pinhole camera. It has an aperture equivalent to f/133 and a focal length of roughly 40mm (in 35mm camera terms). I’ve never used a pinhole camera so it’s been quite an exciting exploration of a very primitive form of photography. No view finder, no glass lens, no CF cards, no histogram and being an extended piece of the camera as the human shutter (I open and close it) is a sure fire way to kick oneself into a new way of thinking and seeing.
Even with my digital camera I’ve been in a “slow photography” mode. Ironic considering I have been shooting a lot of time-lapse work. While my camera is running capturing a time-lapse I usually have a second camera in the wings where I very selectively take a dozen or so photos. To take that approach to another extreme I picked up the pinhole camera to capture a few frames here and there. I get 6 photos per roll with this camera so depending on the lighting conditions I’ll run through a roll quickly during the day or use the same roll of film over a few night shoots.
The photo above of a very foggy and snowy view of Gates of the Valley in Yosemite National Park was taken this past March. This brief window in the fog lasted but a minute. This was one instance when I was in the right place at the right time. Expect to see a few more pinhole photos in the future. As I venture around in the coming months we’ll see what other “right place at the right time” photos come about.

Snowy Owls lead nomadic lives and travel vast distances from year to year searching for productive feeding areas. Some years, most recently in the winter of 2011/2012, conditions cause them to come south in great numbers. Get an intimate look at these white owls from the north through video and photographs captured by the Cornell Lab’s, Gerrit Vyn. Video Rating: 4 / 5
Chelsea Girls is a 1966 experimental underground film directed by Andy Warhol and Paul Morrissey. The film was Warhol’s first major commercial success after a long line of avant-garde art films (both feature length and short). It was shot at the Hotel Chelsea and other locations in New York City, and follows the lives of several of the young women who live there, and stars many of Warhol’s superstars. It is presented in a split screen, accompanied by alternating soundtracks attached to each scene and an alternation between black-and-white and color photography. The original cut runs at just over three hours long. The title, Chelsea Girls, is a reference to the location in which the film takes place. It was the inspiration for star Nico’s 1967 debut album, Chelsea Girl. The album featured a ballad-like track titled “Chelsea Girls”, written about the hotel and its inhabitants who appear in the film. The film was shot in the summer and early autumn of 1966 in various rooms and locations inside the Hotel Chelsea. Filming also took place at Warhol’s studio “The Factory.” Appearing in the film were many of Warhol’s regulars, including Nico, Brigid Berlin, Gerard Malanga, Mary Woronov as Hanoi Hannah, Ingrid Superstar, International Velvet and Eric Emerson. Once principal photography wrapped, Warhol and co-director Paul Morrissey selected the twelve most striking vignettes they had filmed and then projected them side-by-side to create a visual juxtaposition of both contrasting … Video Rating: 4 / 5
