Yesterday was World Antarctica Day, celebrating the day the Antarctic Treaty was signed. Dad once told me he was envious that I got sent to photograph Antarctica and would live vicariously through me. The wildlife in Antarctica is so beautiful, raw, and uninhibited. I keep coming back to this photograph and can’t help but think of my dad and how he pushed me to explore, photograph, and document beauty.
