As a passionate travel and street photographer, I’ve found India to be a dream destination. But in the heart of the pandemic, locations teeming with human life were hardly an option. Enter Antarctica. Though far outside my comfort zone in every conceivable way, I was instantly captivated. And as my eye and my lens fixed themselves upon those vast, epic, barren expanses - so objectively different from anything I'd ever seen or experienced - there was still something deeply comforting and almost familiar about the place. Is the world really so big?
