... or so I've been told. Photography is only capable of reproducing reality, only good at documenting. Everything else one does with it is garbage or should be left to 'real art'.

Well, I disagree! I won't claim this (or anything else my weird lenses + my ever-curious mind produce) is art, but it certainly doesn't seem to be limited to documentation.

Excitement building as Melanie and I start panning for a return visit to Svalbard and the Arctic. I loved my trip and want to share the experience with Melanie so plans afoot. Meeting with John the chap I shared the experience with last year. Not sure which company we will travel with, previous points us not to ignore the competition. But, we will travel in a style next time and having been once it feels a little bit more relaxed, can't wait!
