SNOW DAY
photographs by Andy Chen
February 5 through March 3, 2010

Snow Day is a series of photographs taken among the Grand Tetons in Wyoming on an afternoon's walk to Taggart Lake.  We were nineteen days into a two-month wilderness road trip in October of 2009 and these photos capture the season's very first snow. In the months prior, we converted a Chevy cargo van into a camper, outfitting it with a pop-up top, bed, stove, bathroom, backpacking gear and guitar. I brought along my camera and my wife Hannah (who was five months pregnant then) brought along a sense of adventure. There isn't anything much better than fresh snow to pique my curiosity of transitions, mystery and wonder. We had hiked for several days before in wearing, drizzling rain.  We went to bed in anticipation and we woke up to a frosted landscape.  It was a snow day.

About The Artist Andy Chen is an award winning fine art photographer based in Indianapolis, IN. His images explore themes of enchantment within the wildness of the natural world. Andy was born in 1974 in Taiwan and grew up in the Midwestern United States. His exposure to photography began in high school, where he spent countless, clueless hours in the darkroom as part of the yearbook staff. A few years later, he finally figured out that the knobs on the camera had a purpose and quickly found a new passion (for photography, not turning knobs).
