ice dreams

ice dreams in the winter sun with no fear of melting

The ice series started one cold Sunday in December with three photos along the shore of Storm Lake. The cold and wind had created large ice blocks and thrust them up out of the water, in a jumble along the edge of the lake. This image uses layers to show the transparencies of color, and the brightness and darkness of the ice shining in the sun.

Does ice not understand the danger of melting in the sun? Or does it choose to spend itself on the warmth and beauty?

This photo is by far the best of the three, but they're all beautiful, mom. We can talk about the words, I think you are saying something powerful, but the diction could be improved to create more specific message. Remember vagueness tends to be more cliche. Try more with the ice pictures and even maybe as a beginning place, do a couple black-n-white pics.
