Snowflake Bentley is a man from my hometown. He was fascinated with snow crystals. In 1885 at the age of 20 years old, Mr. Bentley became the first person to ever take a picture of a single snowflake. He went on to take thousands of photographs advancing the world’s knowledge of weather, meteorology, and snow crystals. He found that no two snowflakes are exactly alike and of course, neither are people.
