Ice Flowers Photo Gallery by Christine P. Newman at pbase.com

Ice Flowers

This semi-abstract body of work was prepared to be seen as a whole although each picture can be interesting in itself. It is the result of experimentation with digital double exposure in-camera (not put together in Photoshop). Flowers and leaves were put in water and then frozen. Inspired by the work of Japanese American photographer Ryuijie.

Ryuijie has inspired you but you are inspiring me with your shoots. Really a great work. Voted

Beautiful in black and white. I have seen similar in colour, but they were not nearly so complex, or gave such attention to tone. Very nice work. Well done.

extremely beautiful, must have been a lot of work, v.

Really does work as a whole. Like an indirect mosaic if I remember my terms.

Salah El-Sadek		05-Feb-2007 03:45

Stunning work. Voted.

Nathalie Vuillemin		12-Sep-2006 21:37
Je ne sais pas comment exprimer ce que m'évoque ce travail. C'est à la fois du connu et de l'inconnu, des vraies fleurs et des idées de fleurs. Bravo. Très touchant et esthétique.

Ana Carloto O'Shea		31-Aug-2006 20:37
Thought each of the photos has its own power I believe that it's when seeing them all together like this, that the impact is greater. And then of course there is the light.. So pure, so bright... that makes us fall in love with this series :)

Guest		28-Aug-2006 14:58
Beautiful and creative images, viewed singly or as a whole, a wonderfully creative gallery.

well-done

Guest		06-Jul-2006 19:07
You are my favorite time of day.When the light has not yet woken its colors.But is whispering pleasurably, sleepwalking through gossamer curtains of supposition that intoxicate with playful form and riddle.With a fragile metamorphosis that might as easily dance back into the shadows as melody within my mind.You are the summer bubbles that I can only hold for a moment at the edge of my breath.So enchanting and mesmerizing that I cannot get enough of you. V!

Guest		06-Jul-2006 03:06
Ah... cette série que j'aime tant. Je suis contente de la revoir!

Guest		06-Jul-2006 02:16
C'est etonnant, beau et tres original. Comme un herbier qu'on aurait fait sur du calque. Les expositions sont parfaites, avec un fort contraste, mais sans exces. Bravo. Vote.
