We got a pretty good snow storm again so today I was out looking for people cleaning up or doing something snow related. I saw this guy out side shoveling in front of a house with a little boy and thought this might make a nice feature--both work and play in one photo. I got noticed so a complete candid wasn't going to happen so I went up and chatted with them. As it turns out I knew the man, Dave Buttray who used to work with my wife. As we were catching up his son Kyle wound up and let a snow ball(a chunk actually) at Dave. This was the only one I caught(and it was from the hip) where the Dave wasn't aware it was coming ahead of time. I liked how Dave seems smiling and unaware that he's about to be hit in the head with the snow--and Kyle was very acurate. A few moments later it was my turn to be a target and he nailed me squarely in the lens! I wish the chunk of snow was a little easier to see--then I'd like it a lot more, but it still makes me smile looking at this and knowing what is about to happen.
