Awesome pictures, Jesse! Looks like your new camera and lens are a winning combo!
ReplyDeleteJesse jumpstarters: whiteness, ice, cold, wind.
ReplyDeleteMARVELOUS photos. You really captured the otherworldliness of it all. Those bunny boots! That massive beast disgorging orange spacepersons. New camera equipment + your eye for journalism promise more exciting blog posts to come. So glad you're back!
