I usually avoid shooting in January here in Northern Minnesota because I hate -20 weather.  This year the weather has been kind, and I’ve been out and about a bit. While I’m still sorting through and printing this work, this is one popped out just because it looks so much like the charcoal drawing I would have done had I ever bothered to draw this stand of hybrid poplars.  It’s a multiple exposure on my Nikon D300 with a lot of jiggling, taken on a day with thick fog, flat light, lots of ice on the trees, no processing beyond that.  My father in law, Bud Morgan, who was a WPA printer and painter would have loved it.
