Chasing Ice: Photog Captures Changes in Glaciers Through Time-Lapse Photos
Here’s the amazing official trailer for the upcoming documentary film Chasing Ice, which follows one man as he embarks on an epic photo project around the world:
In the spring of 2005, National Geographic photographer James Balog headed to the Arctic on a tricky assignment: to capture images to help tell the story of the Earth’s changing climate.
[…] Chasing Ice is the story of one man’s mission to change the tide of history by gathering undeniable evidence of our changing planet. Within months of that first trip to Iceland, the photographer conceived the boldest expedition of his life: The Extreme Ice Survey. With a band of young adventurers in tow, Balog began deploying revolutionary time-lapse cameras across the brutal Arctic to capture a multi-year record of the world’s changing glaciers.
[…] It takes years for Balog to see the fruits of his labor. His hauntingly beautiful videos compress years into seconds and capture ancient mountains of ice in motion as they disappear at a breathtaking rate. Chasing Ice depicts a photographer trying to deliver evidence and hope to our carbon-powered planet.
The About page on the Extreme Ice Survey website states,
Guided by the recommendations of glaciologists, in 2007 the EIS team installed its time-lapse cameras at sites that represent regional conditions and have high scientific value. Typically these cameras are anchored on cliff faces above the glaciers. It took six months of experimenting to come up with a camera system sturdy and reliable enough for our purposes. We use Nikon D200 digital single-lens reflex cameras powered by a custom-made combination of solar panels, batteries and other electronics. The cameras are protected by waterproof and dustproof Pelican cases, mounted on Bogen tripod heads, and secured against arctic and alpine winds by a complex system of anchors and guy wires. Each unit weighs more than 100 pounds. Solar panels collect power that is stored in batteries; customized controllers trigger the cameras only when there is sufficient light. Downloads of digital images occur as frequently as every few months or as rarely as once a year, depending on how remote a site might be.
All this is to ensure that the cameras survive long enough to create time-lapse images that span years — or perhaps even decades.
Surreal Composites Created by Arranging Individual Instant Photos
Since 2006, Brooklyn-based artist Patrick Winfield has been creating incredible photo collages by photographing and recreating scenes using a large number of individual instant photo prints. Some of his pieces are composed by more than over one hundred instant photos! Although his work mostly featured Polaroid films early on, Winfield branched out into other types as well (e.g. The Impossible Project instant films) after Polaroid bowed out of the industry.
In an interview he did with Dazed Digital last year, Winfield states,
My work is about juxtaposing various elements to make something new, playing with the familiar to form some fantasy. A recycling of imagery to create new symbols. I draw with my camera and film […]
The viewer can focus their attention on one element/piece of film within the collage/composite and then pull back and take in the piece as a whole. This push and pull of the viewers eye is present in both mediums. Both are about the journey.
You can find more of these photographs over on Winfield’s website.

I’m already thinking about my next photo project and I’m so stoked for it already and so excited for the time when I’ll be able to show it to you. It’s something that is close to my heart and my whole identity is based on it. Deep, beautiful, meaningful and so accurate. I hope that you’re as excited as I am!
So I’ve been getting a lot of questions regarding the meaning of the F*CK NORMS photo project and I thought that I’d share it with you:
One of my biggest passions is photography. Not only taking pictures, but to plan and style up the picture and model (in the case of this photo project) and to reach out with the photographs.
I did this project because I’m sick and tired of the norm in society to always have this need to put people in categories: gay/straight and boy/girl. Not only are these categories so excluding for so many people, but also wrong. You don’t have to feel for one or the other category, you just feel like yourself and then society will follow. We all have the norms inprented in our heads and for some of us, that is what makes us stay the norm - we’re afraid. I don’t want anyone to feel afraid about their gender or sexuality and that is the main focus of this photo project. The best part about it is that I get to do what I love at the same time as I (hopefully) inspire you to really be YOU.
Simply F*CK NORMS and come as you are.

Bea
In Zutut'Ha, Mexico
Bea from France has been on the road for 10 years and is an artist in many ways. She does handicraft, paints and loves dancing with her fire staff by which she makes money for her permanent travels. People’s lives are like the lives of birds, she says: Some live at the same place all the time, others migrate to far away places - and both is good and necessary. She sees herself in the role of a messenger telling people about her life. For Bea everything is possible and she does what she loves. Her bus is the closest thing to a permanent home she has.
Arnaud
In Zutut'Ha, Mexico
Arnaud lives in the off-grid community Zutut'Ha in Mexico which he and a group of friends founded about three years ago. The family of his mother is French so he likes to speak French with visitors from France who come to the community. He studied Biology and is his part in the community is gardening which he totally loves. There are no houses for the community members so far, so he and his girlfriend live in a tent.
Sarah Angelhair
In Punta Gorda, Belize
Sarah from the United States has been living in Belize for one year now. She likes this country because of the “Belizean way”, and engages herself in the local politics. On the picture in her room she is grounding herself by attaching herself with special cables to the plug and in the buckets she collects rainwater for drinking. She likes her apartment which is associated to a hostel but the problem is the rooster carking during the night in front of her window. Due to that soon after this picture was taken Sarah moved to another nearby house.
