The photographer Douglas Levere was looking for a manageable side project, one that wouldn’t conflict with his day job or require too much travel away from where he lives, in a suburb of Buffalo, New York. He settled on something that is easily accessible, and seemingly inexhaustible, in that part of the Northeast: snow.
Levere caught his subjects as they fell or swept them up with a fine paintbrush, sometimes from off the hood of his car. He put them on glass slides and brought them to his garage, the only place in his house where it was cold enough to work, and then, using a homemade device—more or less a microscope lens attached to a digital camera—he photographed them in close-up, often as many as fifty times per snowflake. Finally, he combined the many images into one sharp portrait.
I’m a little nervous to put this out into the wide world, but I’ve just opened an Etsy story with downloadable coloring pages, and I’d like to invite anyone interested to come check it out. I’ll keep adding coloring packs as I’m able to get them done.
Good, I’ve got your attention. I’ve heard about this net neutrality bullshit returning. I fought it when it started popping up a few years ago, and I’m going to fight it again. Guys, it’s BACK AGAIN and even worse theres a big chance it will END UP PASSING!
This could literally mean a shit ton of you wont be able to see me anymore if your provider decides that they want to regulate/censor, sayyy overly sexual content. You’ll also have to pay extra money to even use Tumblr!
Please guys, we defeated this shit once, we can do it again. They’re trying to do it now while people are distracted by the holidays and fucking Justice League. As of today, it seems as though there have only been 266,810 calls made to Congress. This is NOT good enough!! MILLIONS of people use the net, and if each one of them took 60 seconds to call and protect it, holy balls do you KNOW how much of a difference that would make??? But noooo, you’re busy streaming an ecchi anime that wont be available to you soon!!!!!
Heres a direct link to make a difference (theres also links to other sites of the same nature on here), and yes, YOU can make a fucking difference because this is YOUR internet at stake here. If you’re not going to make the call, share this and maybe SOMEONE fucking will!! This is important as shit and we cant afford to lose. Dec 14th is the deadline.
The reason they started this again is because… the timing.
Coincidence? I think NOT.
Everyone is so obsessed with something else, The FCC are manipulating us.
I seriously don’t want to give up Tumblr and YouTube all together because of this crap..
:’(
They’re deleting it every 20 hours too, don’t stop rebloging this!
Yeah, everyone should be worried about this, without net neutrality, freelance artist will suffer and lose their jobs, long distance relationships will suffer. online job applications will be a nightmare. It’s not good.

The FCC wants to make the internet suck. Suck big giant hairy smelly balls. I’m not sure many people realize how bad they want to make the internet. Companies could make you pay extra for visiting certain sites. If they are in competition with Netflix, your ISP could block Netflix all together. It’s super bad.
This is really important. Congress is the only thing that can stop this. Which probably means we’re screwed, but I would like you to do me a favor anyway.
Figure out who represents you. Send them a message. Give them a call. Send them a fax (yes this really works). Mail them a postcard. Do all of these things if you have the time. Don’t let your apathy take over. We need to find our willpower and make ourselves heard. Tell them Net Neutrality is good. The FCC can suck it. Keep our internet free from corporate tampering. Don’t let the internet suck balls. Pleeeease.
