Polar Bears Lunching (2011)
Not quite as far "back" as my usual Throwback Thursday fare, but it still seems like ages since I've been within sight of a polar bear, nevermind three. Here, two young bears pick the last bits of food from a whale skeleton, while their mother stands guard. Conditions for this shot were quite frankly terrible, with a lot of haze and an ugly color of coastline, both situations that lent themselves well to this monochromatic treatment.
Later today I hope to complete the paperwork to submit for an artist residency opportunity on Svalbard. Wish me luck!
