It seems like it was only yesterday that I was lamenting about the creative disappointment that was 2010. Now to think of it, it was yesterday. Iced Soy Chai Monday, otherwise known as Lamentation Day. The great thing, though, about Lamentation Monday is that it is followed by Revelation Tuesday. That's today for those not keeping track. Today, as I was still sifting through my digital stash from last week's ice-tastic winter storm, I realized I had something, something to be mildly (and mindfully!) enthusiast about. I had, without even knowing it at the time, found myself the proud mama of a new creative series -- "meditations."
It seems that I have about twenty or so images of constellations, subatomic particles and DNA strands all in the form of natural ice sculptures. I look at these images in their RAW form (won't finish processing them this week), and the perfected confusion of nature instantly calms me. It couldn't have come at a better time, this new discovery. It give off just the right kind of energy. Kind of like 2011 in general. Here's to new discoveries, good energy and Revelation Tuesdays!

A wonderful series, aptly named. Love the coloration.
Gorgeous - I can't wait to see more in the series. I love the textures of light on ice and water.
Thank you, Matt and Laurel! I feel like this teeny tiny ice event we had was a real gift. With only one fog day this season, and a poor one at that, I've been a bit lost with my photography. I guess I need interesting weather to get my creative juices flowing! :)
I think I might love this more than your Passionate Earth series, but ask me again tomorrow and the opposite might be true.
Regardless, I am amazed as always.
Love it. I love the stark, vibrant color.
It's interesting, seeing your work, I kind of see two types of images, some, like this, that are stark and vibrant (I think the series you did in the laundromat falls into this as well). And then the soft, vibrant ones (your fog work). I almost always know an image is yours when I see the thumbnail in Flickr!
