‘The Shape of Cold’ Antarctica published and available online now!

I am excited to have published 'The Shape of Cold' a beautiful artwork of the collection of my black and white photographs from my first journey to Antarctica in 2014. This book is an expression of my connection with Antarctica; of the way the hand of Nature sculpts 'the shape of cold'. There is a very special relationship revealed with the pairing of images on adjoining pages; which gives this book a quality which is beyond just a collection of exquisite photographs. This book is available to be purchase now on my online store

Antarctica Breathing Images

‘Antarctica Breathing.’ I had a profound connection with the land in both Greenland and Antarctica. These images are the foundations for an upcoming body of work. Click the images because behind the thumbnails are revealed larger totems.

She Glides…

With delicate grace
exposing in rawness her strength and beauty
exquisite beneath,
she glides in the stillness
yet she was not truly seen.

Those moments of glimpses are now passed
into memories
and melt
into time.

Getting to Antarctica – by plane then ship…. Not at all easy… and Nature calls the game!

I'm back to Australia now after an incredible journey to South America to climb Volcan Osorno and travel once again to Antarctica. These have been incredibly privileged experiences..and ones which have enriched my life; and I feel I have returned in some ways quite changed. Nature called the game for us this time and due to fog and lack of visibility on the runway at Frei Station, our planned departure was delayed for two days because we couldn't land. Every few hours we all gathered in the function room to be advised of the current weather conditions and the pilots decision whether we had a window to land ..... or not...

“The Shape of Cold” – Antarctica Book

I have had this project on the back burners for 2 years… and recently I made a commitment to see if I could actually achieve any goals that I had set myself; and endeavoured to complete a book of my experiences in Antarctica in 2014 – before my next trip to Antarctica…which is today !!!! and I have self published my book “The Shape of Cold”. I am really excited about this collection of images and how my experience has translated into this beautiful compilation and artwork in the form of a book. I am feeling quite excited for when I return in a month – to be able to hold my first sample copies in my gentle hands. I will post some images of the books after they arrive.

Antarctica New Perspectives : Even in the Darkness

Even in the darkness and the varying shades of the grey of uncertainty elements can emanate light and have an inner glow which is eternal with the strength of presence and resilience. Antarctica has provided me with the palette of my own experience to listen to the wisdom which emanates from something which is beyond me. Revisiting these images has enabled me to recall some of those insights again for myself. There is a beautiful private gallery just for subscribers….so if you would like to see more images in this series… you can subscribe easily here 🙂

Antarctica New Perspectives – …..Relationship

Quietly..... over time.... silent change....
Looking at the relationships between elements can for me bring dynamism to a medium which is in literally 2 dimensions.
In your own photography, why not have a play with placing images together and see what narrative/emotion/movement/feeling develops within you, as a whole new perspective is created as a result of juxtaposing two or more ways of seeing.
I have found that

Antarctica new perspectives – on Landscape.

Antarctica Landscape??? …or not??? Have you ever questioned what you have seen??? Have you ever seen something and then upon further inquiry be led to further inquiry….which has led you to question your perception of reality even more??? This particular image invites me to inquire … explore… challenge my perception of what I originally saw. I invite you to to do the same.

Antarctica…. new perspectives

Have you ever had something revealed to you and it challenge your perception of the way you think it is?? I have been re-visiting my archives; and in my Antarctica photos there are images which challenge my memory of what I think Antartica is like… or “should” be like. When one thinks of Antarctica – ice; cold; blue; white; penguins; isolation; space; are just some of the words which may come to mind. As I have been browsing through my images I am seeing differently than how I have seen before. Perhaps ‘time’ is taking a role in this – as it has been 14 months since experiencing myself in Antarctica. Perhaps time has given me the space to see things differently…and present a new reality which I had not envisaged before. My perception is being challenged by a new way of seeing…. and what I am seeing in front of me is different that what I thought….remembered …and even imagined. Over the coming weeks… (perhaps even intermittently over the coming months 🙂 )… I would like to share with you some images which offer a new perspective of Antarctica.

Antarctica…. sublime…

It seems for me a bit surreal that only a few months ago I was an adventurer in one of the most exquisite and extreme places on Earth. Antarctica. I have now had some space between my journey into the cold and sublime spaces of this magical place, and still

Explorers…Antarctica…. Setting the scene; planes, boats, ice and VERY cold water!!!!!

We were explorers...adventurers in a place where Nature runs the show. In Antarctica plans are temporary. Fluid. Changeable. At best, plans in Antarctica are the sketch of a 'wish list'...pencilled in itineraries and schedules and deadlines; all overlaid with ice and wind and snow....and fog. Max and I had chosen a trip

What part of me is……. ???? … (catalyst from experience in Antarctica)

Well... Antarctica seems such a long time ago now and seems to be fading in my memory; but still such a strong part of me and my experience.....and remains such a catalyst for me asking myself the question... "What part of me is.... ??"
