“How we humans interact with the natural world has driven my photography since the beginning of my career,” says Steve Shannon. “This image reminds me of many things – my aging friend, Kevin Marr, leading a group safely through avalanche terrain; the combination of snow, wind and light to create the incredible textures. Skiing and the mountains have been a part of my life since birth, and this combination of adventurous pursuits in beautiful landscapes continues to drive my passion for photography and adventure.”
