Well, the Weather Outside Is (Supposed to Be) Frightful…

6 inches of snow! Winter Weather Advisory! Sounds like December in Chicago…
Now, I’ll believe it when I see it, but the forecast tonight is calling for the first big snowstorm of the year. To “celebrate” the occasion, we thought we’d give you a preview of a few of the images that will go up in the Photography Galleries on December 17th in an installation devoted to snow.
From top to bottom:
Wilson A. Bentley. Snowflake, 1885-1931. Ernest N. Kahn Photography Fund.
Jay Maisel. First Snow, Elizabeth Street, 1984. Gift of Arnold Crane.
Mario Giacomelli. Pretini, 1961/63. Photography Purchase Fund.
Alfred Stieglitz. From the Window of 291, 1915. Alfred Stieglitz Collection.
Lovely pictures — a thought not related, however; no two snowflakes, so we’ve been taught, are ever exactly alike; well, how about any two pieces of popcorn???
Thankfully it wasn’t as frightful as Mario Giacomelli’s photograph, but I have to ask… is it spring yet??
