Originally the diary of 4 months spent in Antarctica working as a documentary film sound recordist, this blog has evolved into an online repository for the thoughts, travels and trivia of the writer Richard Fleming. For McMurdo Station, Antarctica, and polar exploration, see August through December of '06. Currently you are likely to find in these pages chronicles of my actual and literary meanderings, as well as notes on my many other passions. Also, did I mention I wrote a book?

Purple Haze All in my Brain
We went out from 2AM to 6AM this morning to capture the last moments of this season's Antarctic night. A four-month long day, unbroken by sunset, is about to start. I am fried and badly need to sleep, and it was cold and windy, but the visions were unparalleled. Sadly I see that I need to clean my camera lens; a dark, round spot graces all these otherwise sublime images.... I'll take care of it after my nap.
