Glacial Water Pool Jumper

16 Nov

Last year when traveling in New Zealand, I met a man who was willing to jump into a pool of ice cold water in the name of ART. Picture this: I, Marisa, have a fantastic idea for a series of photographs… they involve wigs, traveling, and strangers. That is all I will give away bc it is still a work in progress.

So in order to get you, my blog reader, excited to see this series (although I am unsure when it will debut) I am posting this video. It is a series of out takes, not long, but awesome!

Thanks Alex for being a brave glacial water pool jumper!

Brrrrrrr…… Fox Glacier, New Zealand

26 Oct

Back in February, I took myself on a nice little vacation to Australia and New Zealand. This is when I had decided that photography was for me. I decided before getting on my flight to the other side of the world, that I was going to go away, take lots and lots of pictures, get inspired, and come back to Miami with one goal in mind; to make photography my job. As part of that mission, I started this blog. It is through writing and sharing my photographs with my blog followers that I feel I can best show the artist within to the rest of the world.
The photos below were taken on Fox Glacier in New Zealand. After a 10 minute helicopter ride to the top of the glacier, we (the group I was with) hiked around for about 4 hours. It was incredible… everywhere I looked there was ice. Lots and lots of ice. The patterns formed were beautiful. There were ice caves, ice pools, ice picks, ice hammers, ice boots. Everything icy! Just writing about this is giving me the chills…

Anyway, I was always at the end of the group because I was so busy photographing (surprise?) but the end result is one of my favorite unplanned photo-shoots!
