Last Thursday I opened up our Divisions section like I normally do looking for something to catch my eye either to shoot for work, for myself, or just to go and enjoy. This time I got lucky and stumbled upon an ice sculpting competition.
Located off of Manayunk's Main Street, just out of our coverage area, I couldn't quite convince my editor to let me cover it so instead I went and enjoyed it on my off time.
On Sunday, master carvers from around the world (the furthest carver was from Thailand) worked off a single word for inspiration "obsession." I was half surprised none of them carved an ice replica of themselves after watching their reddened and concentrated faces work on their pieces of artwork for hours in the freezing cold.
