Project 365: Hello February, Hello Winter • RI Children's Photographer

I'm nearing the end of month two of my 2017 personal project and still going strong and learning every day.  (And I still like to take photos of my cat and vegetables, though not together, when I'm not on the job as a RI children's photographer!)

If you remember last winter in Rhode Island, there wasn't much snow.  I waited and waited for some and it never really materialized.  This year, we had a bit in January, and even more in February (though as of this writing, it seems like spring has arrived!)  I was fortunate enough (or maybe crazy enough) to do a photo shoot in a very big snowstorm.  No photos from that are here, but stay tuned for those in the next few weeks.  I also rented a lens, the first I've ever rented:  a Sigma 50mm 1.4 Art, to do some testing against my 50mm 1.2.  Consensus:  I don't like it.  At all!  Hey, it's always good to try new things.  

Take a peek inside my mind below.  Did you do anything fun in the snow?  Let me know in the comments!
