Really compelling timing on this feature. The contrast between Freddy's winter stillness and current geopolitical noise around Greenland highlights how place-based art captures something beyond politics. I grew up near a coastaltown that was always in environmental news, but local photography showed a quieter reality. I dunno if it's intentional but the drone angles make those colorful houses looklike tiny refuges against vastness.
A lovely post Andy, Freddie's evocative photos and words bring life to Greenland even in the midst of a frozen winter. The colourful houses just pop. I hope the world (well, one country) regains its peaceful footing with Greenland and just lets it be.
These are wonderful photos of Greenland. Thanks so much! A colleague of mine, Denis Defibaugh spent 18mths there recently and made extraordinary photos there with his view camera. He has published the work as book and a traveling exhibit.
I love to travel to far away places. But I'm 80 now and finding travel too difficult. Ah, but I carry my memories still of all the beautiful things I saw and all the wonderful people I met. ❤️
Beautiful, Mother Nature at her best. Happy to be learning more about Greenland. Thanks

Great Landscapes, excellent photography let's hope the calm mood portrayed here returns to Greenland soon.
Hi Andy,
Thanks for your critical, thoughtful writing and expertise on contemporary photography. Here's to FLAKPHOTO. Here's to you.
All best,

Thanks for sharing this engaging work. I had seen Freddy's drone work but not Acacia's photos. And I checked out her Substack too.
