  • Prize
    Honorable Mention

Shot on 35mm film in Boston, Wintertime captures the tranquility and peaceful poetry of the city under snow. Bare trees, beautiful sky, and transient moments—like a walk shared between humans and dogs—are saved in grain. The physical nature of the film is similar to how memories feel in the winter: foggy, delicate, and slow. These photographs investigate how frigid landscapes retain warmth and how quiet creates its own story.
