At the Edge of the Sky Statement: When I look back it is clear to me now that the seeds of this work were sown a long time ago. It wasn't until I stood on Antarctica that they took root, though, and the inspiration for this collection was born.
Walt Whitman said "The sun and stars that float in the open air. The apple sloped earth and we upon it, surely the drift of them is something grand."
That's how it felt to be surrounded by open air, ice, sea and penguins. I began shooting using the widest lens I had to convey the massive scale of my surroundings.
Inspired by my experience on Antarctica I wondered if I could emulate that feeling and those types of images at home. We look down so often and walk bowed and hurried deep in thought or on the phone.
What would we see I wondered, if we looked up toward the horizon at the edge of the sky where the environs of our daily lives meet the open air?
