Hi Ian,

Thanks for looking me up. I had a great field season after the double layover 52 hour trip to southern Chile!

Best,

Cassandra

Hi Cassandra,

I am writing a paper at my university at 2am … and I thought of you. After Google searching you, I stumbled across this series of logs! How enjoyable to see what happened on your trip after that most unusual flight trip to South America together! I hope all is well … thanks for caring for His world.

I smile as I write to you again, although I don’t know if you check this anymore and will reply.

True peace and life to you from Him,.
Ian Slater … that guy from Oregon you walked with in LA and flew with to Santiago, Chile

Eric,

Thanks so much for your photography comments. Most of the iceberg ones were actually taken by my colleagues and I will be sure to pass on your comments to them! I am hoping to continue to take more photos though and take better and better ones!

Thanks for your feedback and willingness to help!

Ms. Brooks,
I am a professional artist. I work with oil on canvas. You have the eye of a formally trained artist. I am going to be working on a series of large photo-realistic paintings starting next year (upon conclusion of my current space based pieces), I will be influenced by your photos. It will be an exercise in slight variation, and subtle detail. Not to mention the ecological/political undertones the work will take on. Please continue to shoot and post more.
I think you should, if possible, do some work on black and white Ilford-Delta film, with dark-room developed large prints. With the proper techniques the subtle contrast of the ice-ocean-sky relationship can be explored in its finest detail, revealing variations of contrast not even visible to the naked eye.
FYI; I have been formally trained by one of Ansel Adams students, so if you would like advice just email me. Or google my name I’m easy to find.

PS I will be working up composition ideas in photoshop CS2 if you would like to see??????

Dear Didi,

This is the beauty of the internet, you don´t need a jacket for me to share these beautiful pictures with you! Glad you enjoyed.

Best wishes!

hey, interesting combination of some cool facts about icebergs and their rather poetic pictures …suceeds in conveying the pristine white aura of the place.

Brrrr….I needed a jacket just to see those pictures.
Very cool. The tabular iceberg is freaky like some giant just dropped his ice on the ocean straight from the ice tray.
Thanks.
