Absolutely amazing and breathtaking
Cliff Briggie, Ice Macros
Photographer and practicing clinical psychologist, Briggie’s “temporary ice paintings” are comprised of ice, paint and water: “A photograph freezes the moment. Ice, light, and water, move, morph, flash, and change. Little pieces of paint take on a life of their own, suddenly exploding, colors streaming everywhere—click—and then they’re gone forever. It is at once so breathtaking, heartbreaking, and compelling that I’ve missed more than a shot or two.”

25 abandoned Yugoslavia monuments that look like they’re from the future
“These structures were commissioned by former Yugoslavian president Josip Broz Tito in the 1960s and 70s to commemorate sites where WWII battles took place or where concentration camps stood. They were designed by different sculptors and architects, conveying powerful visual impact to show the confidence and strength of the Socialist Republic. In the 1980s, these monuments attracted millions of visitors per year, especially young pioneers for their ‘patriotic education.’ After the Republic dissolved in early 1990s, they were completely abandoned, and their symbolic meanings were forever lost. From 2006 to 2009, Kempenaers toured around the ex-Yugoslavia region with the help of a 1975 map of memorials, bringing before our eyes a series of melancholy yet striking images.”
