I’ve driven over 3,000 miles to photograph icebergs in Newfoundland. I’m a landscape photographer who lives full time in my 4runner ross, and we just spent over 2 weeks in the great northern peninsula chasing icebergs. It was time for some new scenery and to head to a place I’ve never been, Labrador. My hope was to re-engergize myself with a new place, find some more icebergs to photograph, and ultimately just see what’s over the horizon. While I did get to explore that new place, my biggest discovery was within myself. This is episode 3

As I crossed the Strait of Belle Isle. I reviewed a few of my images from the last few weeks and contemplated what else I’d hope to find in the coming days of my exploration to Labrador. I was mostly happy with the iceberg images I had captured thus far, especially given the conditions of the last week or so. Yet I wanted more, which always seems to be the sentiment of an artist? Actually I guess you could say, it’s what humans continually strive for in general. The pursuit of finding satisfaction never seems to end.
Why is that? Why is it that no matter how much we accomplish, or the goals we cross, there’s always another finish line to reach. I think about this a lot. I’ve made few videos that even touch on the subject, specifically defining success. Because in many ways you could say accomplishing your goals makes you successful.

If I think about it too much, I start to get that sense of existential dread. Think about it though. If you realize this cycle never ends, as soon as we catch that carrot ahead of us, we already want another carrot. Why even try? What’s the point if we just never feel content no matter what.
