Ice and bubbles

Just some random shots by me, Brad Hankins of dbBrad during the cold week we had early December.

I recently purchased a Panasonic Lumix with the Leica 10x lens and love it. I'm enjoying photography again for the first time since taking 3000 slides in Europe and not knowing what to do with them!



These photographs are of ponds frozen, bubbled, drained, frozen again and again over several cycles until the ice seemed to capture a network of bubbles, leaves, rocks and layers frozen in time.

Above: a rock and plants captured in the ice, macro. Right: concentric circles in plan view, puddle anywhere.


Here the bubbles are the same ones I pondered over this summer in the FrEdLey pond, wondering if fish, decaying leaves or some other biological process was the effects of a few bubbles a minute trapped in time.











And the Best bubbles yet, compliments if John and Re-Assemblage. A process of finding, assembling and distributing, for a cause, recycled objects disguised as art.
