Another DC Snow Emergency

Washington, DC--It has stopped being fun. The Federal government is still closed. The city can barely cope with the amount of snow and there are many people in the area still without power. Grocery store shelves empty out whenever another snow alert goes out. At home, we are thankful for our blessings, but worry about others who are in need. We stopped at our local supermarket to get some milk (I drink tons of coffee) and this was what we found. Bare shelves.

I really enjoy lots of snow. Probably since it's new to me but I do feel bad for those who are troubled by it. I also discovered that people fill the markets and stock up with food and supplies before the snow comes. Your pictue really tells the story well.

This is a wonderful photo, especially in B&W. The fact that it is also in B&W makes it somewhat disturbing... and the meat seem horribly unappetizing. This could be a promotion for vegetarianism.

This is an effective photo and a strange sight, I hope people stocked up more than they need, as always happens.

It looks really gloomy - hope the strange weather won't last for long!
Great and powerful shot!

To be honest first I thought this picture was take more than five decades ago - seems indeed as if time is able to create many spirals. Hope however that these "windy curves" will pass by without doing much harm.
Impressive photography indeed.

Un foto muy fuerte y que refleja perfectamente la otra cara de los días de nieve, ademas el B/N le da mucha mas fuerza.

Perfect depiction of the panic that many are set in with snow around here. The last time I went to the grocery store had empty shelves of cheese and orange juice. I really don't understand people's thinking! This photo tells the story well.

I am a freelance photographer and photojournalist who moved to Washington, D.C., in 2003 from Caracas, Venezuela. During my 15 years as a photographer, I have traveled the world collecting images for work and pleasure. I have taken photographs throughout the Americas, Europe and Australia, focusing on cityscapes and architecture as well as the simplicity of landscapes and people.

I studied architecture at the University of Tennessee and then returned to Venezuela to earn a B.A. degree in communications from Universidad Católica Andrés Bello in Caracas.
I was a photographer and photo editor for publishing companies while doing freelance work for local and international media outlets.

I was born to a Venezuelan mother and a Belize-American father, some of my earliest memories are of hurrying through airport terminals with a camera around my neck. I was raised in Brazil and Venezuela, and I am fluent in Spanish and proficient in Portuguese.
