In his latest book of 32 black & white photographs, Nicholas Steiner points his camera at the diverse effects of snow and ice upon landscape, trees, houses, people, animals, buried cars, etc. In an attempt to dispel the miserable feelings that cold, wintry weather elicits in many of us, the author/photographer portrays ever-changing portraits of Mother Nature--from a fierce and powerful force to poetic, gentle beauty tinged with quiet melancholy.
