All of us in childhood on winter mornings admired the bizarre patterns on the glass, because the cold "painted" the windows to the envy of any artist. Angela Kelly, a photographer from Washington DC, created the Frozen in a Bubble series, which captures frozen soap bubblesdecorated with rime.
Regular readers of the site Kulturologi. RF will surely remember a series of wonderful works by Moscow photographer Maria-Louise entitled “Reflections and Magic Balls”. Our compatriot captures picturesque reflections in glasses filled with water, but her colleague Angela Kelly photographed the rays of the rising sun reflected on the walls of frozen bubbles. By the way, Angela made bubbles with her son at home, using ordinary soap solution.
The morning temperature of 9-12 degrees below zero was enough for the bubbles to freeze properly. Before the eyes of the photographer and her astonished son, the thinnest walls of soap bubbles crystallized, and they suddenly became like crystal balls. Some bubbles instantly froze in the air, fell to the ground and shattered, while others “grabbed” after landing and retained their shape.
Angela Kelly spoke with enthusiasm about the process of creating photographs. She and her son blew soap bubbles everywhere: near the table in the yard, and on the hood of their car. True, the magic lasted only until sunrise, until its rays began to warm up: one of the balls cracked, others were "blown away", and the third even looked like broken eggs.
