When I first photographed leopard seals back in 2006 for National Geographic, I ended up being force-fed penguins by a massive female seal. I gave a Ted talk on the encounter titled “Tales of an Icebound Wonderland” and her surprising generosity forever changed the way people perceive these extraordinary animals. Ten years later, I had the opportunity to return to Antarctica to relive the experience. Within minutes of slipping beneath the surface, I was welcomed by a playful seal opening its mouth wide against the dome of my underwater camera housing. This may seem like an act of aggression, but I could clearly see curiosity reflected in the seal’s eyes. Far from the vicious predators people often portray them as, leopard seals are actually highly inquisitive, intelligent, and full of personality.

JRNY Magazine was founded during the first months of the pandemic back in 2020 on the bases of supporting and pushing the arts forward during these tough times. We believed in building a community of likeminded creatives from around the globe to produce a travel magazine with a difference. Telling stories that inspire and fire up the wanderlust whilst changing the way travel journalism operates with long form writing, hi-end photography and no advertising, just pure content. Our dedication, innovation and drive to make something unique and special has been recognized within the industry when we were awarded Travel Magazine of the Year for our very first issue. 

JRNY was formed in a web2 world with a web3 mindset, we believe in the power of art, community and support and this belief system is at the core of what JRNY stands for. Because of this it made perfect sense for us to bring JRNY in to web3 and become the first travel magazine to tokenize the entire content of a physical magazine. It has been many months in the planning and we have returned to the drawing board on more than on occasion but we are here now and bringing the world of travel & destination journalism to the blockchain. It has taken longer than expected but it was imperative to us that we got this drop done correctly with the our community in mind whilst making sure we act in a responsible manner to continue to build and support creatives both in web3 and beyond. 

We thought long and hard about how to release our genesis token and finally settled on offering the community an opportunity to collect for nothing. JRNY is for the artists and we don’t want anyone to be excluded from becoming part of our journey. It’s our way of saying thank you for your support, sticking around during the tough times and all the work you are doing in growing and believing in the web3 space. 

By supporting JRNY Magazine you are playing an active part in helping us support creatives, via assignments, education programs and our collection fund. You will be helping build our digital content output and provide further opportunities for creatives across the board. We are dedicated to the project of bringing JRNY in to web3 and providing improved working methods and opportunities for artists to work and earn from doing what they love.

The waterfalls facing Buachaille Etive Mor are one of the most popular sights in Glencoe, Scotland. I visited these falls dozens of times, looking for the perfect conditions with the river full, the rapids roaring and the sky cloudy and windy.

The image I had in mind was very different from your usual view of this scene; I wanted to give a sense of how wild, powerful and massive the waterfalls can be, and how crazy the wind could make the clouds look.

Compositionally, I wanted the wind to blow the clouds so that they’d point down towards the mountain, to counterbalance the movement of the falling water.

Shade #24 – FOSSIL CRUMBLES II

Shades Of Blue is an exploration into the human soul, via a series of images investigating life and ageing of natural and man-made elements in between two worlds, the underwater and the above-water.

Since my first Shade in 2014, Shades kept appearing in front of my camera for 7 years, in 7 countries, and I photographed them as they came to me. Together with them I chased the ghosts and the blues away, and together with them I keep walking my path of personal discovery.
