“Honey, don’t turn off the humidifier!” This photograph was made one morning in January, 2003, when the outside temperature was nine degrees below–definitely too cold to be outside with the view camera. I love the patterns of ice that form on the storm windows here in New Hampshire, and I had only a few minutes when the light was just right to capture this image from inside our bedroom.
