Canadian photographer Don Komarechka announces his book about snowflakes: photography and editing technique he uses, snowflake images, science and physics of snowflakes and more. The book will be 300 pages, hardcover and awesome.

“Standing in frigid temperatures a meter away from comfort and warmth can be a daunting task. Using macro equipment that gives you incredibly little focus, it can be hard to even find a snowflake in the viewfinder. Freezing hands and shivering arms can make the situation worse. However, once you’ve got your first snowflake, you’ll smile at every snowfall from then on. But until you succeed, people will think you’re crazy for trying.”

“Photography is often a gateway to learning about the world around you. For as long as I have been a professional photographer, I have made the study and photography of snowflakes my winter passion. The project has taught me more than I could have imagined about physics, light, beauty and how we see the world. This book is the culmination of my snowflake project; I want to share all of my knowledge, images and inspiration with the world in a book that will last forever.” - Don Komarechka

Don - wonderful photographer, his snow crystal images definitely one of the best i’ve ever seen, far better than my own. He starts funding this book’s print production through indiegogo, a Kickstarter-like service. All details about book and author’s video can be found here:
