On a balmy May Tuesday at Union Pool in Brooklyn, the 2nd annual Clif Bar Cold Shot Challenge awarded cash and prizes to the best photography taken from land, air and sea this winter. The contest started in freezing and dark January and ran through a procession of record size and conditions of blizzards, named winter storms, and Nor' Easters that pounded the the East Coast the first four months of 2018. All of these storms were tackled by core winter chargers and documenting them were hundreds of photographers from the Outer Banks to Maine. NYSEA Collective invited all to submit their nastiest and most beautiful to be posted online and judged by the public and professionals.
Guests: Will Skudin, Ryan Mack, Mike Nelson, Michael Weinstein, Josiah Ryan, Davina Grincevicius, Tredd Smith, Ty Smith
