ice carving secrets: photos by Patrick Endres

ice carving secrets: photos by Patrick Endres http://www.icecarvingsecrets.com/ics/photographers/Pages/Patrick_Endres.html In some of my blog entries, I’ve talked about the superior quality of Patrick Endres’ ice sculpture photos. I am proud to be able to add more of his work to this site because Patrick is the premier ice sculpture photographer in the world. Patrick’s skill and artistic sense let some ice sculptures last indefinitely in photographs while others just melt away. There are six more photos taken by Patrick in the gallery of Aaron Costic’s sculptures. There are hundreds more ice sculpture photos and thousands of other images from Alaska at his site at www.alaskaphotographics.com.
