Geography<\/p>\n

While I visited most of the biomes in one year (all seven continents in 18 months), the images I released\u00a0were drawn\u00a0primarily\u00a0from the artic and antarctic regions.<\/p>\n

Process<\/p>\n

Straight images from Antarctica were processed on location, mostly in Lightroom. Composite images were created in studio, mostly in Photoshop after launching from Lightroom. I date \u201cstraight\u201d shots based on the date they were exposed and composites on the date they are completed.<\/p>\n

Concepts<\/p>\n

I focussed on\u00a0a long-standing theme, creating\u00a0symmetries drawn from the land to better reveal the spirit within.\u00a0The final resolution has prompted me to remaster many\u00a0related files made in 1996. I\u00a0released multiple related series of studies, including a series of digitally rendered inkblots.<\/p>\n

Magnificent Moment<\/p>\n

There was big magic in 2016! In Antarctica there were moments of extreme quietude amid the lifting fogs at Black Head and the glassy reflections\u00a0in Antarctica’s Plenneau Bay. We experienced the epically varied lands of New Zealand; in one day we moved from a waterfall strewn fiord, through a rainforest, up to a high arid plateau, and finally to the base of a glacier. Sublime light filled hours and hours, as we flew helicopters over Namibia’s Sossusvlei dune fields, which roll out to the Skeleton Coast. All of these adventures were long-held dreams come true.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s challenging to choose so few images from so many \u2013 but it\u2019s insightful. Try selecting your own top 12 images. Try selecting the top 12 images of your favorite artist(s).<\/p>\n
