It snowed heavily the night before. I knew if I wanted to photograph white-out condition this was a good chance. I chose one of the highways that cross the Sierra that I’ve never driven on before, hit up my friend and said we gotta go. I planned for the worst, knowing many roads would not be cleared for vehicles to drive through. We had to cross an unexpected frightening section of road that was icy and caused us to slide downhill. We immediately put on chains and carefully proceeded up in altitude. Before we knew it, we reached a winter wonderland.

No expectations.
