CV Doug Thost Currently based in Hobart. Seventeen trips to Antarctica, seven of which have been summer field seasons working in remote locations as a geologist/glaciologist, have given me access to some amazing places and experiences. My time "Down South" has truly been life changing. I've worked as a lecturer and field guide for tour companies, travelling to the Antarctic Peninsula and Ross Sea regions. My interests in photography are not restricted solely to the Antarctic region: images from Nepal, South America, Africa, Asia and of course, Australia, will start to populate these pages. In 2006 I was awarded the Arts Tasmania Cultural Residency at Lake St Clair National Park, where I enjoyed two months freedom to explore, and attempt to incorporate, the often ignored "human" element in wilderness photography. Current projects include completing my commercial pilots licence, working on a number of time-lapse projects (including one from Angkor Wat in Cambodia), and a portrait project of men and women who spend their life flying (web exhibit coming soon). Solo Exhibitions 1994 Untitled. Studio Showcase, Rozelle (Sydney). 2002 From a Frozen Land.
