New York City’s iconic Flatiron building emerges from the blizzard like the bow of a giant ship plowing through the wind and the snow.
Taken during the historic coastal storm “Jonas” on January 23rd, 2016 the photograph went viral during the aftermath of the storm. While the classic architecture combined with swirling snow and flat light help to create a tonal composition reminiscent of French impressionism, the hints of color place it firmly in the 21st century. The resulting photograph “Blizzard” transcends the three-day event which affected over 100 million people to become an awe-inspiring vision of nature’s power.
