To resist change or remain stagnant invites excess entropy - the kind of chaos that builds unnoticed until it demands a price.\n\nThe wise stay curious, leaning into what they don’t yet understand, finding strength in adaptability.\n\nTake snow in South Carolina, for example.\n\nIt’s rare to get 2-3 inches of snow here, let alone have it linger for days. Growing up with family from Buffalo, NY, snow doesn’t usually impress me - they moved south for a reason. But as a photographer, I’ll always take an unexpected snowfall as a chance to step outside and engage with light, texture, and color in ways I don’t often get to.\n\nEmbracing the cold has been part of my routine for years now. Cold showers every morning - not because I enjoy them but because I’ve learned to appreciate what they build: resilience. Starting the day with something uncomfortable makes it easier to face bigger challenges head-on.\n\nStepping barefoot into the snow has become another ritual; a reminder of what the body can endure when the mind allows it.\n\nYesterday I walked three miles to the grocery store since the roads were too slick to drive. It turns out that this town doesn’t own a single snowplow. Should I be surprised? Probably not. Snow like this is a novelty here - an anomaly.\n\nHere are some photographs I made over the past few days. I hope you may enjoy them. \n\nMade with my Leica M262. \n\n#photography #noicemag #artstr #leica #grownostr\n\n https:\/\/m.primal.net\/NyqJ.jpg \n https:\/\/m.primal.net\/NyqL.jpg \n https:\/\/m.primal.net\/NyqN.jpg \n https:\/\/m.primal.net\/NyqO.jpg \n https:\/\/m.primal.net\/NyqS.jpg \n https:\/\/m.primal.net\/NyqT.jpg \n https:\/\/m.primal.net\/NyqX.jpg \n https:\/\/m.primal.net\/Nyqb.jpg \n https:\/\/m.primal.net\/NyqZ.jpg\n https:\/\/m.primal.net\/Nyqd.jpg \n https:\/\/m.primal.net\/Nyqe.jpg\n https:\/\/m.primal.net\/Nyqg.jpg \n https:\/\/m.primal.net\/Nyqh.jpg ","created_at":1737769227,"sig":"369675ee2f7a33eec7fe1095499eb3a0b39052013300c3e8d53cffc0a69b2eddcc0a08e87413b2f7fc5f5e6d28a1cc5da6913a10a7fec89106216c5c28a79ac4","id":"f47283e106937bd8d8fd2811fe41cf736d4c50fb99f01f7723f8fa2b1c15fe76"}
