Armageddon For Ice

Camera: Graphlex 4x5 Anniversary Speed Graphic

Film: Ilford Delta 100

Duluth, Minnesota

March 2007

This was a crazy place to be shooting at the time. When we arrived the whole bay was mostly iced over. By the time we left, which was maybe an hour max, most of it had already broken apart and floated away. (A print or two using this to my advantage should surface on the site eventually) I could see my footprints of where I had walked out to take a few shot when I first arrived already cracking and submerging ready to break and float away by the time I left. Glad I wasn’t still out on it.

Fun Fact: There is a goose visible in this image standing on an ice sheet. Though web-resolution probably prohibits you from being able to see it. So just pretend that you can.

Exposure made with my 90mm Raptar using some rise to make the corners vignette. Traditionally Printed.

    Outstanding Kip- Have you printed a hard copy of this yet? How much tweaking to get the mist and softness?
