Where to buy fake ice for photography

I've often seen photographers ask in forums where to buy fake ice. There are other options of course; but one such place is Trenglove Studios in New York. Larger pieces for closeup shots are $40 for acrylic or $35 for solid glass. Bulk "display ice" can be purchased for $15 for a dozen. If you're in NY, you can rent your fake ice instead of buying it. They also have fake splashes, liquid spills, etc., even fake bubbles for that extra clean shot.

Evostock

I have recently joined Evostock, a virtual agency on Photoshelter where photographers can come together to present their combined work to art buyers.

From Evostock's homepage:

Evostock is a online community of highly creative professional photographers coming together with their imagery to provide clients one place to search across a large collection of the highest quality images from a wide spectrum of photographers and perspectives.

Evostock is committed to providing fresh, new, and evolved images for this evolving world we live and work in.

I invite other stock photographers on Photoshelter to join Evostock by contacting Tim McGuire at the email address listed on the Evostock homepage.
