Honorable Mention
Icefield
DESCRIPTION
As I climbed the Khumbu Icefall from Everest Base Camp up to Camp One I captured this climber, the bright orange of his clothing and popping out against the cool blue hues of the ice and snow, as he carefully followed the rope that marked the safe route through the icy landscape. AUTHOR
The most amazing experiences in my life have come through photography. From climbing to Camp Two on Everest; photographing axe-wielding Black Metal bands in the woods of Norway; meeting a snowmobile-riding Arctic vicar in the the most Northerly town in the world; or drinking beer with Finnish ice fishermen on a frozen lake, all the most rewarding things I’ve done have come from the times I challenged myself, and spent time with people in their world, rather than staying comfortably in mine. It is this outsider perspective on other people’s amazing lives that has produced some of my best work.
