The Blizzard of 1996

Philadelphia
With Philadelphia on the brink of its second major winter storm in a week – and third of the season – I was reminded of this photo I made there after the Blizzard of 1996 – still the city’s all-time greatest single storm – which buried the City of Brotherly Love under 30 inches of snow.

Space Shuttle Endeavor: 1995
By · Comments
1995
Space shuttle Endeavor is on schedule to take off from the Kennedy Space Center in a few hours. I photographed this previous Endeavor night launch in 1995, from nearby Titusville, Fl., using a Nikon F4 and Nikkor 500mm f4.0 lens on a monopod, with Ektachrome 400 35mm film.
I had been in Florida to cover the Philadelphia Phillies at spring training, and drove several hours across the state, arriving with less than 10 minutes to spare. I photograhed the first few minutes of the flight, hopped in my car and drove back to Clearwater, just in time to go back to work. I was very sleepy.
