    What a great idea -- and the result is excellent. Makes the photo less of a portrait and more of a mysterious journalistic narrative -- what has happened to these people, I wonder. Except you gave it all away with your process description! It's just a very good photographer playing :)

    What a clear distortion. How long was the photo submerged before the ice formed?

    Actually, there was both thin ice and open water. I dropped the print into open wayer, then pushed it under the ice with a stick.

    Dan, this is from one of the signature sheets they printed as a test while printing the book. They were throwing these away, so I took a bunch home and cut them up into individual pages.

    No Gregg, no filters here beyond some sharpening.
