Some guy in the program last year took one of the school's 4x5 camera up to the peak of Seymour Mtn during winter (!!!) and came back with fantastic images. Can you imagine the dedication? Snowshoeing up a snow covered mountain carrying a 4x5 rail camera and the massive tripod required. Oh, and he took some people snowboarding with it. Bonkers.
