They are different, but all so beautiful. I can't choose just one...

Winter is such a magical time. I often hear adults saying they don't like snow and I feel like they are missing out on something.

Thank you so much for putting this together and especially for including my little video in here. I appreciate this so very much! ❤️

I like the one from Travis Huggett. It is both simple and complex at the same time. A minimum amount of color and a bold taste of color. It's been a few years since I've been to Wisconsin in the winter. I need to change that.

Andy, thank you for sharing this and supporting winter enthusiasts! I’m from Madison and it wasn’t until I moved West that I realized snow is part of who I am. These photos capture the feeling so well, especially Travis Huggit’s because it reminds me of the all of the majestically snow covered Midwestern barns I’m missing out on now. Thanks for the love letter to this season!

Fulford captures the everyday fun of winter. Love the vivid, concentrated color and energy of icicle-picking with friends, surrounded by the monotonous, monotone suburban vibes. The image fits your message, Andy... winter can suck if we don't find a way to make it awesome. If we're blind to the magic, it's not winter's fault. Thanks for sharing this set.

I'll do that, thanks. I'm on the near east side, near Jenifer St. Market. Maybe we'll run into each other at the butcher counter sometime?

Right on. I'm in Tenney-Lapham by the Youth Art Center. Are you a photographer? We should grab a coffee sometime.

Can’t decide between Garfunkel and Huggett ... I know one is all scale and the other is smaller, more specific, but they both caught my eye. It looks like we’re in an area that doesn’t really do hard winters so I appreciate peering into these, Andy.

Damn, those are beautiful! (except the C-stand one. C-stands are forbidden in-frame. unless you're a freshman. after that, no C-stands in-frame) I woulda submitted but winter here looks just like the rest of the year.

Thank you for sharing these lovely images. I love the photograph by Anders Hviid. It is technically excellent, but it also takes his photographer’s eye to realise that a view of seemingly nothing has such artistic beauty.
