My latest photo hunt incorporated familiar things. A sunset, this bridge and ice. At this point you would think I’d invest in some ice climbing gear, or at least, some traction cleats. *NOTE TO SELF – Buy these for next year*
The Delaware river was quite a sight to see. All along the banks had sheets of ice that were shoved upon each other by the current. Some looked like an ice version of a lava flow. Every footstep brought loud cracking sounds as if someone was shattering glass with a hammer. Every once and a while, a small splinter of ice would fly up and out, hit the ice sheet and glide away. I thought a few times I was going to just glide away as well. Good thing I had a fellow photographer alongside, this isn’t a place you want to go alone.
And I promise you all, I’m not going to become, “That guy who takes bridge photos”, even though I do have a lot of them. I guess you just tend to take photos of what’s near you, often. The challenge is, to show that same object differently.
