New Yorker searches for owner of remarkable blizzard photos

Screen shot 2011-01-19 at 2.46.08 PM

A New Yorker who writes and directs comedy videos is on a quest to find the people who shot a roll of striking black-and-white photos of the city that he found in a park.

Todd Bieber stumbled upon the roll of film while cross-country skiing in Brooklyn's Prospect Park after the Christmas blizzard that dumped 12 to 18 inches of snow in the area. Bieber developed the film and was captivated by the photos, which show what he surmises to be some out-of-towners taking a snowy and beautiful journey from Central Park, across the Brooklyn Bridge to the abandoned Coney Island amusement park, and then to Prospect Park, where they must have accidentally dropped the film canister.
