"SLURPEE WAVE” is a photo by which photographer?
This photo was taken by Jonathan Nimerfroh on the day of February 20, 2015 while he was in the surf in Nantucket with his wife Rebecca Nimerfroh. It was mentioned in an article in Nantucket magazine "N" in April 21, 2015.
I will quote part of her words in the mentioned article:
“The ocean was frozen?” I asked that night when Jonathan told me about what he’d seen.
“The waves were frozen. It was the trippiest thing I’ve ever seen. Do you want to see photos of it?”
“Yeah!” I said. Jonathan pulled out his camera and showed me the icy barrels.
“Whoa.”
We stared in disbelief.
“I want to see this!” I said.
Several days later, on February 25th, Jonathan decided to share the photos with Holly Finigan of The Nantucket blACKbook to post on her Instagram feed. Holly posted Jonathan’s wave photo on her Nantucket blACKbook Instagram account, which then reached CBS Boston weatherman Eric Fisher. Within minutes, Jonathan’s phone rang. It was Eric.
Thursday morning, Jonathan saw that Stay Wild Magazine had posted his photos with a brief article about the “slurpee waves”. Nantucket’s Townpool also posted a slurpee photo on their Instagram account. And that is when things really started to take off.
Saturday morning the New York Times ran a half-page color photo in their paper, telling Jonathan’s story about the slurpee waves.
