Non-Fiction Photography
Snowflakes may be an everyday, common subject, but youve
never seen them like this! A collection of amazing
photography of snow crystals using a unique system designed
to take super-detailed micro images of these miniature ice
masterpieces, "The Snowflake" is an extraordinary look at a
seemingly ordinary object. Author Kenneth Libbrecht, a
physics professor at Caltech and the pre-eminent
snow-crystal researcher, discusses the physics and mythology
of snow and how snow crystals are made. Photographer
Patricia Rasmussen presents remarkable color
micro-photography of snowflakes, and also discusses the
history of snow-crystal micro-photography as invented by
farmer Wilson Bentley.
