Alex at the Boundary to the Polar Eternities

My sponsor and friend Alex asked me to photograph myself at the furthest point north during my residency in the Arctic. Instead, I photographed him. Anyone who has watched the news with Alex, or extolled the virtues of exploring nature with him will know what I mean. Like Alex, the Aggies of Texas A&M University (of which I am one) are generally a hard-working, practical, capitalist bunch, and the university's engineering school is as good as any at preparing its graduates for a career in fossil fuels. Maggie is Tahitian (tropical) culture needing to stretch.
