While enjoying the winter months in Minnesota and Alaska, I developed an odd fixation on the many benches that were embedded in the snowy landscapes of the parks through which I walked. I have been shooting a lot of black and white lately, and there is just something about the dark textured wood of a park bench set against the smooth white blanket of snow that kept catching my eye. I would definitely put these photos in the category of “images I probably would have hated three years ago,” but, I like them now, so I’m just rolling with it.
Photos taken in Anchorage, AK and Plymouth, MN on February 10-23, 2011.
