En Masse
.
.
A fragment of the 200,000+ king penguins amassed on Salisbury Plain, South Georgia
.
"It's just carnage out there!" @alex_ames2 would exclaim every day, which is a pretty spot on description
.
It's a huge challenge to photograph here. When a lion or a bear shows up, you know exactly what to do. There are few distractions, and always a clear story. Out here, the penguins are guaranteed, but nothing tells you what you should do with them. The stories criss-cross, overlap, collide, and scream at you in unison until it is all one deafening drone, all while you are trying to free yourself from calf high quagmires of penguin shit, and avoiding slamming into mammoth seals who could pulverize you in an instant
.
I'll admit to feeling lost and disoriented. A far cry from the low stress conditions I'm normally in when photographing. There's nothing quite like it, is there?
.
Except there kind of is. Life in the city and working in a high octane job is very much like it. Swap penguins for people, squawks for notifications, rivers of literal poo for rivers of figurative poo, looming elephant seals for bosses and deadlines
.
Isn't modern life really just carnage?
.
Maybe, but only if you let it
.
After the first few overwhelming landings into the madness, I learned to quiet my mind. To welcome the overwhelming sensory input. To let it wash over me so I could observe, and understand. Soon there was a pattern to the carnage. There were peaks to climb to get out of the din (and smell) for a second and compose myself. There were techniques to free my boots from the pools of penguin shit. There was an appreciation and respect for the seals and their territory, and a way to navigate around them without fear
.
And, no longer overwhelmed, my mind went calm, and began to notice and process the immense, unbelievable beauty all around me. Magic on a grand and minute scale. Amazing stories distinct yet intertwined. I immersed myself into it with confidence, poop and all. The noisy drone became almost a raucous cheer
.
There was treasure everywhere
.
The thing is, nothing changed on that crazy antarctic rock. Only my frame of mind

Eagle eyed
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The steppe eagle is a large bird of prey that can be found living in steppe habitats, dry grasslands, deserts and mountain ranges across Eastern Europe. It is a strikingly handsome bird with dark brown plumage and matching brown eyes. Its powerful hooked bill is dark grey with a bright yellow cere - that is the waxy fleshy covering at the base of the upper beak - just above its oval shaped nostrils. The steppe eagle is the only species of eagle to have a wide gape, or opening of the mouth, that reaches back beyond its eye. Steppe eagles have been found to travel very long distances, with some flying more than two hundred miles in a single day. They are quiet birds, only vocalising during the breeding season and have the same dietary habits as vultures, with carrion being the foundation of their diets. They are opportunistic scavengers, stealing food from other birds and they often hunt at the entrance to burrows of small mammals, where they wait for them to come out, and then eat them!
