What's New in 2008
With a return trip to the South Pole in the works this year, it is a good time to revisit some of the images that I took over 50 years ago during my time on Operation Deepfreeze. The images feature Sir Edmund Hillary and Sir Vivian Fuchs along with the other members of the Trans-Antarctic Expedition. Please visit my Antarctica gallery for a small selection of the many images from my adventure. You can also visit my ANTARCTICA BLOG for more information.
New Imaging Capabilities:
We've several exciting new technologies at work for us, beginning this year. Our move to digital consists of a three-pronged digital service offering:
Digital Video: We're proud to announce that after shooting for the past several years in DV, we now use Sony's industry-leading HDR-FX1 HDV camcorder, which records in High Definition video format, for all of our video productions.
I took this new wide-format HD technology along with me to Kenya, Antarctica and in the Deep Flight Aviator, and it is available for future video projects. In conjunction with my video production partner, Tim Kelly, we offer end-to-end digital production services.
Digital Stock Photography Online: I'm most proud to announce that my extensive photography archive, which spans 50 years and all seven continents, is now available in digital format.
With the help of my in-house digital staff, we now offer hi-res scans from my entire archive of transparencies, to clients online. We're making progress towards a complete web-based catalog, and currently have the ability to receive and respond to stock image requests in hours or even minutes, instead of days.
With our entire archive at our fingertips, custom-tailored web galleries can be created and posted for online viewing on our secure, password-protected server. High-resolution images can be delivered via FTP in real time.
Look for a fully automated web-based catalog in 2008.
We will be adding more still images and video clips in the coming weeks here, and
