“The frost-covered winter stalks stood along the edge of the field, welcoming the first sunrise of the year wrapped in their icy coats. The streets were empty. It felt like we were the only people awake. The snow creaked under our feet. Even the ditch that usually flows fast had frozen completely solid. The world had frozen still. The frost had formed tiny feather-like crystals. I photographed them with numb fingers. Year after year, the same thing amazes me: how nature can be so beautiful and ever-changing, full of surprises.”
