Beautiful Frozen Flowers of Capetown
Wanting to creatively showcase some of the flora around their native Capetown, South African photographers Bruce Boyd and Tharien Smith froze flowers in blocks of ice and captured pristine images of them underwater.
The result is a unique snapshot, a paused moment that preserves the fresh vibrancy of the blooms.
Photographed at dawn, the photographers battle errant bubbles and bad lighting to…

A Color of the Sky
BY TONY HOAGLAND (1953-2018, RIP)
Windy today and I feel less than brilliant,
driving over the hills from work.
There are the dark parts on the road
when you pass through clumps of wood
and the bright spots where you have a view of the ocean,
but that doesn’t make the road an allegory.
I should call Marie and apologize
for being so boring at dinner last night,
but can I really promise not to be that way again?
And anyway, I’d rather watch the trees, tossing
in what certainly looks like sexual arousal.
Otherwise it’s spring, and everything looks frail;
the sky is baby blue, and the just-unfurling leaves
are full of infant chlorophyll,
the very tint of inexperience.
Last summer’s song is making a comeback on the radio,
and on the highway overpass,
the only metaphysical vandal in America has written
MEMORY LOVES TIME
in big black spraypaint letters,
which makes us wonder if Time loves Memory back.
Last night I dreamed of X again.
She’s like a stain on my subconscious sheets.
Years ago she penetrated me
but though I scrubbed and scrubbed and scrubbed,
I never got her out,
but now I’m glad.
What I thought was an end turned out to be a middle.
What I thought was a brick wall turned out to be a tunnel.
What I thought was an injustice
turned out to be a color of the sky.
Outside the youth center, between the liquor store
and the police station,
a little dogwood tree is losing its mind;
overflowing with blossomfoam,
like a sudsy mug of beer;
like a bride ripping off her clothes,
dropping snow white petals to the ground in clouds,
so Nature’s wastefulness seems quietly obscene.
It’s been doing that all week:
making beauty,
and throwing it away,
and making more.

" 0 " С Необычный творческий процесс фотографа Брюса Бойда (Bruce Boyd)
Я был очарован тем, на сколько лед деформирует и искажает предметы, попавшие внутрь его. Поэтому я начал экспериментировать, делая фотографии цветов замерзших во льду. Экспериментируя, однажды, я бросил ледяной куб в бассейн, он раскололся самым невообразимым образом, это подвигло меня начать необычный творческий проект «0˚C».
В течение 6 месяцев я и моя девушка сфотографировали больше чем сто замороженных цветочных композиций. Она занималась подготовкой и размещением, а я фотографировал их. Мы делали это на рассвете, в это время свет для работы с композициями лучше всего, мы использовали ручейки, бассейны и мутные лужи.
Результаты работы фотографа Брюса Бойда (Bruce Boyd) и художницы Тарьен Смит (Tharien Smith) впечатляют...

South African Flowers Frozen into Fleeting Arrangements
South African Flowers Frozen into Fleeting Arrangements
[ad_1]
South African photographers Bruce Boyd and Tharien Smith have spent the last two years photographing clusters of brightly colored flowers trapped in blocks of ice. The temporary sculptures are captured underwater, where the ice begins to crack and add further dimension to the floral compositions.
Flowers are sourced from Cape Town’s gardens, hedges, and trees, which are then…
