When water vapor freezes, frost or snow result. This can happen even at temperatures above 32°F (0°C)! A “seed” of some sort is needed—a speck of dust, a spider web—on which crystals can begin forming. At that point things can go in many directions, literally. I’ve found countless of patterns in frost and, of course, we all know that no two snowflakes are identical. I’ll leave the snowflake photography to the genius of both Snowflake Bentley and Ken Libbrecht. Here are a few of my photographs of frost that will be part of the solo show I am doing at Highland Center for the Arts opening February 18th. More tomorrow!
