The Frozen Hinterland

This is the countryside around Carmi, Illinois just after we had the big snowfall earlier this year.

For the One Rokkor Around The World project. A Minolta MC W.Rokkor 28mm f/3.5 wide angle lens, which started in Baltimore, Maryland U.S.A. and will travel all over the world in the next two years, will be in each participant's possession for approximately a two-week period, in which time they will put it on one of their own personal Minolta camera bodies, (or any camera body that they can get it to fit), and they will photograph subjects that are indicative of their country, region, culture, etc. It is currently in my keep and I am so excited about getting to use it!

This follows on a previous Rokkor lens project that made it's way all around the world, but that one was a Minolta Rokkor-X 50mm f/1.7 prime lens.
