Michele: I had to log-in here at LL (first time in a dog's age) to compliment your photography from your Antarctic trip. Frankly I find most Antarctic photography to be static, unimaginative, uninsightful, and, with the region becoming increasingly accessible to amateur photographers, cliché. The best work from this region (or ANY region, for that matter) tells viewers much, much more than what an iceberg looks like; it tells viewers what icebergs FEEL like.
Your Antarctic work reaches higher than 90% of the work I've seen. You list no formal visual training in your biography so you must have a rather natural talent for composing gesture, tension, spacial management, and simple proportions into a photo frame. (And I love that lecturing tour-guide penguin!) Well done Ms. Sons, well done indeed!
