These images were taken with a Nikon D80 w/ a 40mm micro lens. Some images were taken with a 10x magnifying Vivitar filter. All images were photographed without a tripod–hand held @ about a 30th (or less) of a second. Kip used a scarf, removed from his freezer, as a soft place for the flakes to land.
I have my favorite as my screen saver on my computer & iPad. I can’t make it to Vermont this year & I miss it. I now have Vermont snow-in a way I’ve never seen before.
I hope you enjoy his work. ~amy

Lynda, thank you for commenting on his work. I grew up in Vermont…snow was snowball fights, tunneling through it, shoveling it off things or stamping it off my boots. Snow was never this. He is an amazing photographer & I hope to share more of his work. It is personal to me b/c I know him & grew up in the town where he is taking his images. 🙂 ~amy
