The following is a short photo essay based on photos I took while driving home from Michigan on December 28. There are 44 photos used in this essay selected from over 200 pictures taken. Because I was driving I was obviously unable to focus or change settings. I occasionally was able to adjust the f-stop and shutter speed when I was not sliding all or the highway on ice, slush, or snow. I never focused the camera using my sight and snapped anywhere from 3-7 pictures each time letting the camera catch what it saw. The results are some cool pics and a dangerous and arduous drive home made far more enjoyable. It was interesting to note what the camera was able to catch and compare that with all the small details you note while driving for hours on end. It was also able to catch some other dirt, dust, and smears that give the pics an interesting perspective. Let me know what you think. Music is from Sufjan Stevens and his Seven Swans Album, the track is “Alone with you”.
