As a ski patroller and avalanche professional, he has looked at countless snow crystals through a variety of lenses. When he realized that these tiny, delicate snowflakes could be captured by camera, a whole new adventure began. Now, when the conditions are right, you will often find Doug outside in the cold, with his headlamp and camera, trying to capture \"just one more\" snowflake. It has evolved into his own personal treasure hunt; one that he would like to share with you.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><div id=\"pgc-289-0-2\"  class=\"panel-grid-cell panel-grid-cell-empty\" ><\/div><\/div><div id=\"pg-289-1\"  class=\"panel-grid panel-no-style\" ><div id=\"pgc-289-1-0\"  class=\"panel-grid-cell\" ><div id=\"panel-289-1-0-0\" class=\"so-panel widget widget_sow-cta panel-first-child panel-last-child\" data-index=\"1\" ><div\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\tclass=\"so-widget-sow-cta so-widget-sow-cta-default-4b4616b4bcb6-289\"\n\t\t\t\n\t\t><div\n\tclass=\"sow-cta-base\"\n\t>\n\t\n\t<div class=\"sow-cta-wrapper\">\n\n\t\t<div class=\"sow-cta-text\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h4 class=\"sow-cta-title\">\n\t\t\t\t\tSnowflakes prints can be purchased at several galleries in Northern Utah\t\t\t\t<\/h4>\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t<div\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\tclass=\"so-widget-sow-button so-widget-sow-button-atom-012d015164a9\"\n\t\t\t\n\t\t><div class=\"ow-button-base ow-button-align-center\"\n>\n\t\t\t<a\n\t\t\t\t\thref=\"https:\/\/desertsnowphotography.com\/?page_id=453\"\n\t\t\t\t\tclass=\"sowb-button ow-icon-placement-left ow-button-hover\" \t>\n\t\t<span>\n\t\t\t<span class=\"sow-icon-fontawesome sow-fas\" data-sow-icon=\"&#xf105;\"\n\t\tstyle=\"color: #ffffff\" \n\t\taria-hidden=\"true\"><\/span>\n\t\t\tLearn More\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><div id=\"pgc-289-1-1\"  class=\"panel-grid-cell\" ><div id=\"panel-289-1-1-0\" class=\"so-panel widget widget_sow-cta panel-first-child panel-last-child\" data-index=\"2\" ><div\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\tclass=\"so-widget-sow-cta so-widget-sow-cta-default-d14a8d7b8425-289\"\n\t\t\t\n\t\t><div\n\tclass=\"sow-cta-base\"\n\t>\n\t\n\t<div class=\"sow-cta-wrapper\">\n\n\t\t<div class=\"sow-cta-text\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h4 class=\"sow-cta-title\">\n\t\t\t\t\tMetal, Matte and Glossy Prints and Greeting Cards Are Available\t\t\t\t<\/h4>\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t<div\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\tclass=\"so-widget-sow-button so-widget-sow-button-atom-012d015164a9\"\n\t\t\t\n\t\t><div class=\"ow-button-base ow-button-align-center\"\n>\n\t\t\t<a\n\t\t\t\t\thref=\"https:\/\/desertsnowphotography.com\/?page_id=877\"\n\t\t\t\t\tclass=\"sowb-button ow-icon-placement-left ow-button-hover\" \t>\n\t\t<span>\n\t\t\t<span class=\"sow-icon-fontawesome sow-fas\" data-sow-icon=\"&#xf105;\"\n\t\tstyle=\"color: #ffffff\" \n\t\taria-hidden=\"true\"><\/span>\n\t\t\tLearn More\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><div id=\"pgc-289-1-2\"  class=\"panel-grid-cell\" ><div id=\"panel-289-1-2-0\" class=\"so-panel widget widget_sow-cta panel-first-child panel-last-child\" data-index=\"3\" ><div\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\tclass=\"so-widget-sow-cta so-widget-sow-cta-default-d14a8d7b8425-289\"\n\t\t\t\n\t\t><div\n\tclass=\"sow-cta-base\"\n\t>\n\t\n\t<div class=\"sow-cta-wrapper\">\n\n\t\t<div class=\"sow-cta-text\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h4 class=\"sow-cta-title\">\n\t\t\t\t\tBrowse All of the Snowflake Collections\t\t\t\t<\/h4>\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t<div\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\tclass=\"so-widget-sow-button so-widget-sow-button-atom-012d015164a9\"\n\t\t\t\n\t\t><div class=\"ow-button-base ow-button-align-center\"\n>\n\t\t\t<a\n\t\t\t\t\thref=\"https:\/\/desertsnowphotography.com\/?post_type=product\"\n\t\t\t\t\tclass=\"sowb-button ow-icon-placement-left ow-button-hover\" \t>\n\t\t<span>\n\t\t\t<span class=\"sow-icon-fontawesome sow-fas\" data-sow-icon=\"&#xf105;\"\n\t\tstyle=\"color: #ffffff\" \n\t\taria-hidden=\"true\"><\/span>\n\t\t\tBrowse Snowflakes\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8211; Snowflakes are among the most delicate and beautiful illustrations of God&#8217;s creativity\u00a0&#8211; Doug Wewer has been photographing snowflakes in Utah&#8217;s Wasatch Range since 2009.
