Artist's Comments

This was left after the first wave of the great Nebraska ice storm. Taken early morning as the storm clouds left. These delicate, small, dead sunflowers were completely enveloped in ice.

Great photo.

Really awesome, beautiful poetically etherial photos. Do you mind if I post my own rendition of them? I'm going to make some wonderful sketches like these, or based on these; I've been chewing on things I should draw, but a lot of them interestingly enough end up looking like this at times. I really like the inversion, sun flowers, then dead, then they become these spiked and looming crystal behemoths. . . Really mysterious, and inspiring transformation.

I would be honored to have you do a rendition. Please tell me when you have something up. And thank you very much for the compliments for the photo. It was very ethereal. The whole world that day seemed to be completely coated over in a thick layer of ice, glistening in the sun. I had never seena nything quite like it. Even my father who has lived in Nebraska all his life told me he had never seen anything quite like it. It was very inspiring to me.

Yeah, after looking at some of the other photos they have online I was even more blown away. Looking at those reminded me of the little crystal gardens we used to grow in boxes back in grade school. At some point I wondered what would the world look like, transformed like that? So now I've finally got my answer; maybe California will get hit next! Hahaha. Totally hope so. I will let you know soon as I've got the renditions up.

this is the kind of photography I love. It's real and no one really stops to see it. It's so easily passed off as just a plant with ice but it's part of our everyday lives.
