This Is What Happens When You Blow Soap Bubbles at -9°C (15,8°F)
When the weather forecast announced
about the unexpected cold from -9°C to -12°C last week, Washington-based
photographer Angela Kelly decided to take an advantage of it in one
truly creative way. Together with her 7-year-old son, Kelly combined the
home-based remedies – dish soap, karo syrup, and water – and went out
to blow bubbles and take pictures as they freeze and melt.
Soon the two adventurers found
themselves in awe while watching the frost create magical patterns in
the freezing bubbles. The smaller ones would freeze momentarily, simply
mid-air, and then they would fall down and scatter like thin glass
chips. The bigger ones would manage to freeze more slowly on the
surface, giving the photographer a chance to catch the artworks of the
frost on camera.
“We noted how they would freeze
completely before the sun rose but that once the sun was in view they
would defrost along the tops or cease freezing altogether.“ recalls
Kelly to the KOMO News. “We also noted how they would begin to deflate
and implode in on themselves making them look like alien shapes or in
some cases shatter completely leaving them to look like a cracked egg.”
The process and the results of the
photoshoot were highly rewarding for the photographer and her little
one. “Are we ever too old to play with bubbles?” Kelly asks rhetoricaly.
“I really think that this is the most fun, unique and beautiful series
I’ve done yet!”
