Prepared. Cautious. Determined. Photographer at work.

That’s me. Knowing it isn’t the right weather or moment to take out the good DSLR camera but still doing it.

My mom captured this moment of me covering my camera in my scarf and only keeping the end of the lens unprotected when we were on an expedition in the winter wonderland.

It was snowing all day long but we had nothing better to do than to drive to a closed skiing area and hike up a mountain.

Because, well, we all love snow.
