    The photographer documenting the edges of the Earth:Thomas Joshua Cooper risks his life to document the world’s most remote places. He sets his camera in places with names like Cape Frigid on the Frozen Strait and the Lighthouse at the End of the World. Take a look inside the project he’s been working on for the last 32 years that he calls “The Atlas of Emptiness and Extremity,” a collection of 700 black-and-white photos from the most secluded places in the world.(The New Yorker)

    “Emptiness and extremity are what I was searching for, with the firm belief that it’d kill me or transform me.”
