For many people, snow carries a negative connotation. It's cold, forces people indoors, makes driving difficult, and requires its own wardrobe.
Nathan Myhrvold sees snow differently.
For the former Microsoft chief technology officer and Intellectual Ventures founder, snow is the greatest natural art form. Which is why he drew from his experience founding Modernist Cuisine, a research kitchen and laboratory that creates high-definition photographs of food, to make what he calls the highest resolution snowflake camera in the world.
Up close, each snowflake's unique structure is visible, revealing branches of crystalline arms normally hidden from the naked eye.
Myhrvold spoke with Insider via email about his interest in snowflake photography and how he created his high-resolution camera.
