Man, Did I Miss You Snow. 2-18-09

It hadn't snowed in over a month and I really began to miss the white flakes that I use to find so complicating to my life. I would watch the weather channel anxiously waiting to see when the next snowfall would come. It took a month, but when the sky finally decided to open up it was an absolutely beautiful storm. These photographs were a trip through the city on the Blue and Brown lines of the El. I ended up on the northside off of Irving Park Ave.

The only thing I find truly beautiful about winter is a snowy night. The light is like no other, reflecting off the snow and illuminating the city.
