We went out this morning in a major snowstorm (Maria photographed me in my bathrobe taking these pictures). In the confusion, I didn’t realize he camera was set to manual, not automatic focus. I always use automatic focus in a snowstorm as the camera gets thrown off by the swirling snow sometimes.

Most of the photos were out of focus, but then I realized that captured the feeling of the storm better than a sharp and clear digital image. Photography is odd that way, sometimes – often – the camera knows much more than I do. This is very much the way it looked and felt in the center of that storm.
