I read an article about a woman, Camille Seaman, who travels to the Arctic and Antarctic to shoot portraits of icebergs and glaciers. Her career began when she was asked to give up her seat on a packed airplane in exchange for a free round-trip to anywhere the carrier served. She chose Alaska and was amazed by the enormity of the icebergs she saw. Camille began photographing them and soon realized they were threatened by global warming. Her photographs document the environmental changes occuring, and she exhibits her work all over the world.
What fascinated me the most about her story, though, is not so much what she does, but how what she does came to be. She states, "I didn't have a plan when I set out to make these pictures. I just opened myself up to the possibilities, and the universe pointed me to a way I could be of service."
I wish the universe would do that for me - just strike me one day with a brilliant idea.
