As seen on www.WJON.com. These photographs were taken around 5pm on March 17.  By midnight that evening the ice sheet, which was about a half-mile long,  had slipped past the bridge footings. (Update: The truth is, this was a fairly dangerous photo-shoot. I was in the midst of these icy waters and perched on this ice ledge when I realized that if the ice were to snap forward through the bridge footings, all of the pressure of a half-mile long ice flow could spring  forward at a speed that might overcome my kayak…

Thankyou Paper Collector Art Gallery and everyone who came to the exhibit tonight. It was a lot of fun!  I really appreciated meeting the fun people who came to see my work, and the storys we shared while studying the photos that overlook our great city. The experience was very cool. Thanks again, Steve
