I keep going back to look at these Frank Hurley photographs on NPR's Picture Show blog...especially the 2nd one here.
A few years ago I read about Frank Hurley, Ernest Shackleton, the Endurance and the Imperial Trans-Antarctic expedition in Alfred Lansing's book Endurance. As a photographer I was of course drawn to Frank Hurley's story and images. There is something about the 2nd picture here, something that grabs me, that I can't really explain. I try to put myself in Frank's shoes and imagine what it was like to be there at that moment, so far away from everything, freezing cold, not sure if you would ever get home again...
