Thanks scooter. That photo comes from a series that is very personal to me, which I am now tentatively trying out on a wider audience. It's very encouraging to hear it made a positive impression.
I'm too disorganised to sell, or even give away, prints; but I have ambitions to put out a book. APUG will hear the word if it comes to fruition.
It's interesting you pick Rothko as a model. I don't know if you have read the ongoing abstract expressionist thread, but there I have talked about how much that school has influenced me and my photography. My feeling is that this is Rothko-esque only at a distance, but becomes more and more busy as you look closer. My favourite painter from that movement is Marc Tobey, and a soon as I saw this I loved the way the cracks in the ice made their own "white writing."
