Post office tour

This morning I drove up to the local post office to photograph about 30 youngsters getting a tour of the facility during a field trip. I spotted a note about the field trip in a school district newsletter last week and thought it might yield a few interesting features. I wasn’t disappointed.

Snow in Cheyenne

So I guess winter has finally arrived in Cheyenne. Since I’ve been here, this was only the second serious snow fall we’ve received. It’s only the second time I’ve had to put my truck into four wheel drive to get around town. Some days it’s incredibly hard to find features around town. Today that wasn’t the case. Early in the day, there were a lot of people cleaning off cars and sidewalks on almost every corner. I even ran across a group of antelope leisurely walking around a neighborhood in the city.

Baby it’s cold outside

This week Cheyenne has been hit by an epic freeze. And by epic I mean -13 degrees Fahrenheit. Today’s wind chill was -40 degrees Fahrenheit. It was so cold that for the second consecutive day, I couldn’t get my truck to start in the morning. It was a slow day at the office aside from my normal legislative photographic duties in the morning, but in the afternoon I got sent out to find people being cold. I didn’t find any home run features, but I started shooting into the sun around 5:30 p.m. to try to show the trails of visible exhaust fumes in the cold.
