The last time we spoke to photographer Philippe Jarrigeon he spoke us through his fascination with photographing garden mazes, but things appear to have escalated – and changed – a fair bit.

Earlier this week a peculiar phenomenon was discovered in a section of the Presumpscot River in Westbrook, Maine. In the chilly winter waters a gigantic disk of ice had formed with a diameter just short of the river’s width. The floating patch was recently captured by the city in an aerial video. In the footage a nearby parking garage seems dwarfed by the mammoth proportions of the circular ice patch. According to Westbrook’s marketing and communications manager Tine Radel, the icy island has been spinning in a counterclockwise direction, and does not appear to be moving up or downstream. You can view an aerial tour of the floating ice patch (set to a pretty dramatic soundtrack) in the video produced by the City of Westbrook below. (via Earther)


On the 17th of October 2018, NASA posted a photograph of a tabular iceberg on Twitter: its shape made it a strange image of order in a world where climate change and rising waters are associated solely with visions of chaos.

A little while ago, art director Anna Sullivan spotted an old vintage postcard featuring stilt walking shepherds. Stilt walking shepherds! Curious, as anyone in their right mind would be, Anna started digging into why these shepherds were atop stilts — which we now only associate with childhood games and circus performances — to herd sheep.

Some time ago, Aleksey became fascinated by the subject of Kazakh men fishing beneath the frozen surface of the Ishim River. This interest inspired him to create a photographic series, simply titled Ice Fishers.Fishermen, presented on the pictures, boldly endure in the temperatures that often reach - 40 degrees in hope to catch the fish. As this area is the second-coldest populated region in the world, after Ulaanbaatar in Mongolia, the men must deliberately protect their bodies from the cold. To survive in these extreme conditions, they cover themselves with recycled scraps of plastic. Aleksey tried to explore the aesthetic dimension of the fisher’s improvised coverages. "The way in which they functioned as inadvertent sculptures,” said Aleksey. The series also refers to the history of the region and it’s tradition of nomadism.

A few weeks ago I joined my friend Sue at Prospect Park with her dogs, during off leash hours, and all I could think off is how much I would love to line up all the dogs for a group shot. (Hundreds of dogs!)
A few days ago she tagged me on a Instagram account called Saratoga Dogwalker, and I knew instantly why! They line up their pups regularly. I am so in love with this.
