There are three colours that inspire me in The Arctic. The green of auroras. The pink of the morning sky. The deep orange of hot embers in a fire.

This thread is what happens when I sit in front of a dying wood fire, and obsess over the infinite possibilities with ICM.

Somewhere in the back of my brain there's a bunch of math going on when I play with ICM. Something deep in my mind knows what's going on, but just refuses to tell the rest of me. So I keep quiet and let my hands do what they think is best.

And nobody is more surprised and happy to see what comes of the photo than me.

Was hoping you'd see these ones Steven :)

Have written a few words on these for a collection in the zine. Found myself really immersing into the moment, and connecting with my creative energy. Felt like it was taking me somewhere.

@ewen It's often challenging to successfully balance the movement and light/colours with ICM but those two in particular are perfect examples of getting it spot-on. I love that feeling when technique, subject and vision all match up, like it did for you here - it's so rewarding.

@ewen We have heavy rain over the next few days and I have a thought brewing which involves blending the night-time rain-on-glass and ICM techniques. It might all prove too much, but it should be fun finding out.

@carusb

:) Thanks Chris. I like the complexity in that one, without being too chaotic. Wish I could remember what I did to make it!

@ewen in psych we call that expertise!
