After my truncated trip to Bryce Canyon, I spent a few weeks simply recuperating and regaining my strength. While staying at home, it did give me a chance to continue editing my photos, both from Bryce as well as from Antarctica. The Antarctica trip was a huge success for me. I cant think of another trip in which I had a success rate on my photos that was this high. Normally, maybe 5% of the photos that I take ever make their way into a printed image. This trip, however, has a yield rate perhaps three times as high, with many of the photos being some of the most striking that I have ever taken. In fact, I continue to go back into my files and find more images that I like even now. It has been a learning experience for me to keep recognizing what I was trying to do there, while pulling out many new images.
I keep thinking that I need to put this work into some type of book format, perhaps pairing with the Arctic trip from 2016, comparing the images from both the top and the bottom of the world. I think that I could come up with a very nice monograph along these lines, with an attached pdf that people would be interested in. Perhaps over the next few months I can get that together with an appropriate commentary.
In the meantime, trips to Glacier National Park and Africa are on the horizon. Here is another unusual photo from Antarctica that I am very fond of. I love the abstract aspect of it.
