Snow! IN MEMPHIS! (for real this time)

You did, in fact, read that correctly. We did have snow in Memphis last friday. Enough in fact that the college was closed and I had a snow day at home. So, of course, I pulled out the camera. Too bad it didn't last much longer than it took for me to take these pictures.

Snow! IN MEMPHIS!

Nah, not really. We can only wish. But you would have thought it was real from the looks on these kids’ (of all ages) faces.

I shot an event for the Memphis Brooks Museum of Art yesterday. The free event for the people of Memphis featured carolers, face-painting, "stained glass" ornament-making, dreidel play, carriage rides, tons of food, and of course Santa Claus. The place was wall-to-wall people. I think the thing that the kids enjoyed more than anything else was the snow machine at the front door. Have a look...
