Description: While most of you know me as a landscape and portrait photographer, I’m also a full-time physician, a scientist at heart. Although I do my best to stay clear of political commentary in my life as an artist, I can’t help but mention the effects of rising air temperature that I observed first-hand during my adventure in Antarctica. Between 1970 and 2020, the average summer temperatures in Antarctica rose by 5 degrees Fahrenheit (3 degrees Celsius). Consequently, floating ice shelves are melting rapidly, and many penguin colonies are shrinking, and in some cases disappearing altogether. One morning, we were out in our Zodiac inflatable and came across these four Magellanic penguins seemingly marching lockstep atop this floating iceberg. The juxtaposition of the tiny penguins contrasted sharply with the enormous block of ice beneath them and, once again, with the large ice shelf from which it had broken off. The light couldn’t have been more perfect as the sun’s rays were cutting diagonally across my composition and intensifying the beautiful blue hue reflecting off the ice. I knew the moment was fleeting so I grabbed the shot. I hope that by sharing this photo, we will all be just a little more cognizant of the fragility of our environment.

ARTIST STATEMENT: As though by a magnet, I’ve always felt the world luring me to explore its mysteries and wonder. For a long time, I put my dreams on hold. Then one day in my practice as a physician, I met a patient whose journey would forever change my outlook. In the Fall of 2006, a man came to me with a nagging discomfort in his chest. At 38 years old, he was so young that I thought surely it must be something benign or otherwise inconsequential. In a matter of a few short hours, his CT scan revealed that he was suffering from terminal lung cancer. His story is a reminder to us all that each day must be viewed as a very special gift. I’ve witnessed hundreds of patients whose lives have been abruptly changed by a life-altering or life-ending diagnosis. At times we may convince ourselves that we are immortal, and that cancer or some other catastrophe only affects others, but we have no guarantees in this life. Time is too short to get lost in a blur of days, weeks, and months. And so, I began to think more seriously about all those overseas adventures waiting for me, and soon enough, I grabbed my camera and voyaged to all 7 continents. I’ve observed Tibetan monks in prayer, hiked up the Virunga mountains of Rwanda to marvel at the Silverback gorillas in their natural habitat, and watched Bengal tigers cool off in a shallow lake to escape India’s searing heat. I’ve met people, young and old, who have lived amazing yet ordinary lives. Along the way, I’ve spent several decades honing my craft as a portrait photographer. Whether I’m making candid images of women immersed in prayer in Abu Dhabi or portraits of television actors in my Venice Beach studio, I’ve continuously sought to capture life’s fragility and beauty. There are no rewinds in life, so find the time to discover your inspiration, explore the extraordinary, create the unimaginable, and then leave nothing on the table. ~ Harv Greenberg, M.D.
