This was an impromptu snowball fight in Times Square around 1AM in the midst of the blizzard Saturday night.

The real danger wasn’t the snow and subsequent moisture destroying my gear. No, the real danger was shooting the mayhem with a wide lens which meant that

I was a prime target. I had to put the gear down several times for some payback.
Note: due to demand, prints can be purchased now at SmugMug. For higher end archival prints, please email me directly. Happy holidays everyone!
