Snowy Friday Surprises & Santa Hats

Finally snow. If there’s anything a photographer loves it’s the falling snow, then right after that we want virgin snow ie no yellow snow or footprints

 I went to the Bellevue yesterday to grab some lunch, when I came out at 4PM it had begun to snow and the streets were covered all ready. I was pleasantly surprised.
 

 

 I ran over to the Shops at Liberty Place to pick up my tails for tonight’s Academy Ball, and saw this young lady slip on the snow. Chivarly is not dead as her boyfriend lifted her up in his arms to finish carrying her across the street.

Then I met up with my friend fashion blogger/stylist Ian Michael Crumm to explore the city in snow with our cameras. After we grabbed a bite to eat we headed out to my favorite spot, Rittenhouse Sq. (arggh footprints all over) Oh well the trees were still full of the fluffy stuff, the sidewalk was wet, people filled the park and it was great.
In theory I love this shot on the phone, but do you think it’s too blurry?
 

This is my favorite spot in Rittenhouse Square, the Tribute to Love Statue.

  In past year’s I have festoned it with Santa hat’s and sent them out as Christmas cards.

Actually nothing was sacred in that park that day. I never liked the shot of the Lion with the hat on, and well it was too icy in the fountain for me to decorated the Duck Lady.

Then we headed home. Couldn’t believe the snow at the Rodin Museum remained virtially untouched on the grounds on the museum and I was able to get some great shots. Check out this new application that just came out. It’s going to revolutionize Social Media. This I can handle.
