Who invented cold weather? I had to shoot a polar bear plunge up Provo canyon this morning. The temperature hovered around 9 degrees and I couldn’t feel anything, let alone the buttons on my camera. I am still frozen.

— Scott Sommerdorf on More from the Water Balloon Fight - Loving the bottom one. Reminds me of this Cartier-Bresson that’s one of my faves – http://theonlinephotographer.t ypepad.com/.a/6a00df351e888f88 340120a6e6503f970b-popup I’m dubbing it a Terry-Bresson
. Regardless of my comparison, it’s sweet.

— Garry Bryant on flag retirement - so great. the only pure things left in this world are radical libertarianism and discount fudge. Bless us all.
— Mike Terry on Hey, 50% off fudge! - Very nice portrait!
— Garry Bryant on Sister Mary Joseph - I was at a workshop in 1982 put on by the San Jose Mercury News and the speaker who is a great photographer stated that from time to time one comes across cliches, but if you haven’t taken this type of cliche photo before, then for you its not a cliche. However next time things will be different. Hey, cliche or not, if you don’t shoot it, you don’t have the option to discard it. Nice photo!
— Garry Bryant on Right Now: Salty Sunset - try it now.

I think your photo looks much better on a white background, with black text. Don’t you agree?
I do. But then again, I’ve never been a fan of white text on black. I feel like I could recite an entire post two hours later without even being near a computer. Hahaha.
Cold? Frozen? Ha! You’ll think this was balmy after you experience next month’s night World Cup freestyle events at Deer Valley Resort. Just be sure that you’ve refreshed all your batteries, they’re at a full charge and you keep them under your clothes against your semi-warm body. Once exposed to the bitter cold they’ll lose their energy quickly and you’ll have to swap them out. Be sure to put them back under your clothes to warm back up and they’ll regain some of their strength to be swapped out again. And if you’re really brave and not too afraid of wind chill frost bite, take the snowmobilies to and from the mountainside venue at full throttle. You’ll never complain about another polar plung assignment again.
Yep… Black text on white background. Works much better for the site… don’t you think? While white text on black backgrounds is great for the low vision community (read: going blind), it does make my eyes hurt for minutes afterwards.
Black on white – very nice. And easier on the eyes. Nice change. And Patrick – I feel your pain. Even a quick visit to Park City and it’s (relatively) balmy 24 degrees was not fun this morning. And Sundance is just around the corner with it’s cheery fun of standing outside in 5 degree weather waiting for celebs to show up to make lame photos. Awesome.
good call Patrick. black borders now on all images.
