Toronto<\/strong>. Nasty weather is the bane of a human’s existence – unless he is a photographer. For a photo, inclement weather can create a memorable exposure – witness Henri Cartier-Bresson’s “decisive moment<\/a>” when a French commuter jumps a puddle and all elements in the image’s frame come together.<\/p>\n

The landscape photographer can frame an arresting scene and record it for history, but adding a weather element can create a far more interesting result. Since the birth of photography, photographers have captured the environment, sometimes to record a famous locale, and other times to capture both a locale and the effect of nasty weather be it rain, snow or fog (even fog in Labrador<\/a>). Looking back, photographs can portray a person, a place, tools, war, weather all to the aid of our understanding of history.<\/p>\n

In this particular post, we remember the legion of landscape photographers who have captured the world as it once was – including mother nature’s weather in both its charm and vengeance.<\/p>\n

This post bring’s to mind a 1944 song, “baby its cold outside<\/a>” sung here as a duet by Michael Bubl\u00e9 and Idina Menzel.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
