I've always loved photography. So here's my contribution! 365 photos, one added each day, taken each day. An evolution of myself as an artist and photographer. Enjoy!
Excellent!
ReplyDeleteA fascinating photograph! After studying the photo for a few moments, I formed a thought: How does the surface area of the icicle and the ambient air temperature influence the rate of drop-formation? This question, in turn, led to a second: Might it not be an interesting blend of photographic and scientific experiment to take stop-frame and time-lapse photographs of a number of icicles that have formed in a space, let's say on a roof edge? If each icicle is distinct in shape and surface area, then a line of icicles would form droplets at different paces. And the result would be a kind of natural art: the sculpting of the surface of an (irregular) cone at some predictable rate, but with utterly unforseen results. An outdoor art project, then, which would blend with an approach from physics. It would take a lot of cameras, but you've got neighbors with cameras. And it would only take one warming spring trend to create a lovely portfolio of icicle sculptures.
