12299 Self-portrait, Whitehorse 1982

            Those plastic rimmed glasses became so brittle in the minus 30-40 temperatures that once when they fell off my face, the bridge snapped. The other problem I had was preventing them from fogging up from my breath. Half of my photos that winter were shot with only the vaguest idea of framing, as I was peering through a layer of frozen breath. Oh, and never try to blow dust off your lens in ultra-cold weather like this - the moisture from your breath will instantly turn to ice on the lens!

Scanned from the original Kodachrome 25 slide, January 1982.
