Competition. His profile of a five-millimetre-long female with eggs was
the only Canadian entry that placed, finishing 10th, in October." In the news release, Ian expanded on his technique for photographing these tiny crustaceans: "I give them a small shot of vodka, which kind of keeps them quiet so
I can photograph them,"
