As a mighty blizzard grips the east coast, blanketing the area with more snow:
Check out the wonderful short (3:23) audio/slide show narrated by Chicago galleriest Carl Hammer on the work of Wilson “Snowflake” Bentley (1866-1931), a scientist who attached a microscope to his view camera to take ‘photomicrographs’ of snowflakes. It was first shown on The Newshour’s ARTBEAT segment on February 4th.
Enjoy!
