Snow Day on NW 65th St.

Some rare scenes of kids and adults having fun in the snow in our neighborhood yesterday. It was sunny, the temps were in the 20s, but that did not stop these guys from having a blast sledding, skiing, snowboarding, tubing, you name it!

The extreme weather also brought out some of the best from one of my favorite local groups, Blue Scholars.
Here’s their new music video Coffee and Snow 2, made by a very talented local filmmaker, Zia Mohajerjasbi.

Like me, if you were curious about the photos Geo was shooting with his Leica M3 in this video? Here they are!

    Lovely shots – and thanks for sharing as we don;t get much snow in the land down under. Summers have started here, so perhaps we will be sharing some sunshine…!! Keep in touch,

  3. Absolutely amazing/stunning/gorgeous/fantastic (and any other adjective you can think of here)! Love the shots. They really capture that cold on holidays feeling MPG!

  4. Lovely set M – love the pop of color in each of them
