You know you're a photographer when you discover your car covered in snow and are more concerned about getting a picture than the challenge of driving home safely in a blizzard! That was me on Sunday night when I left the Detroit Institute of Arts to find a "winter wonderland." Of course I didn't yet have my snow brush/ice scraper in my car, so had to depend on the front & rear windshield wipers to get some visibility. Oh, and lowering/raising the side windows to clear them as well. It all worked out although I must admit the drive home was a bit of a nail-biter. Luckily I only had about twelve miles to go.
