Two of my recent studies (experiments made and processed entirely on an iPhone) combine historical photographs with contemporary exposures.<\/span><\/p>\n

Exposures for Antarctica Now & Then<\/i>\u00a0were made at Whaler\u2019s Bay, Antarctica on the active volcano Deception Island.<\/span><\/p>\n

I\u2019ve been wondering if there was any connection between these explorations and the work that was foremost on my mind during these voyages.<\/span><\/p>\n

At first glance we seem to make many unrelated images, but often it\u2019s just a matter of finding the connections. Sometimes we find the connections between what we were thinking and feeling while we are having the experience; sometimes we find the connections long after; sometimes we never find them. At the very least, doing one thing provides a rejuvenating break from the other. There\u2019s usually more going on than we are consciously aware of.<\/span><\/p>\n

What connections have I found? I was looking into the spirit of the land in these locations and these two experiences provided stark contrasts to that sensibility. People concerned with the spirit of a place wouldn\u2019t kill whales in the way they were slaughtered in Antarctica; thankfully this activity has stopped. That bygone members of Greenland\u2019s indigenous population had a stronger sense of the spirt of the place and practices for interacting with it than the quickly westernizing current members do was made evident in the art they left behind. Was my experience limited by my cultural inheritance and current circumstances? Could I, a westerner living today, also participate in more sacred\u00a0ways of relating to the earth? I think so.<\/span><\/p>\n

The finished images I produced on these trips,\u00a0for\u00a0my series Revelation<\/a>, <\/i>are\u00a0evidence of this.<\/span><\/p>\n
