Yesterday Nathan and I attended the January meeting of the Grand Rapids Camera Club. It was a pretty interesting evening! The speaker was Mark Cassino (www.markcassino.com), who did a presentation on his snow crystal photography. It's pretty amazing how with a little ingenuity and some basic camera equipment you can get some awesome shots of one of nature's tiniest miracles. He recently wrote a book in conjunction with a physicist about snow directed towards children. You can find it here: www.storyofsnow.com.
The presentation was right up Nathan's alley. If he took pictures more often, I might go outside and find that we had a snow crystal photography set up in our garage!
One of the members also made an announcement about our local Now I Lay Me Down to Sleep (www.nowilaymedowntosleep.org). They have been struggling to schedule enough photographers here in Grand Rapids, and are looking to have a meeting for potential volunteers February 2nd. I plan to attend and do what I can to support this worthy cause.
