Perhaps it was being raised in Florida, where the marshy heat can suck the moisture right out of your soul and the winters are just a few weeks long, but I have always been drawn to very cold places. All my life I have admired the harsh and unforgiving beauty of ice and snow, ice capped mountains, and glacier cut expanses of rock and granite. As my love for photography deepened, so did my yearning to go north. The more remote and isolate, the better. This desire has led me to some wild places in some of the most northern parts of the world, and my soul remains eager to try and capture it over and over again.
