Morton has published several successful books, from Operation Deep Freeze, Antarctica in 1958 to the highly acclaimed San Francisco: City by the Bay, which was first published in 1985, and has sold out five printings and is now in a third edition.Morton's work has been widely exhibited, including: Photography and the Fine Arts, ICP, New York; "South Pacific" at the De Young Museum (One Man Show); "Golden Gate 50" (Joint exhibition with Peter Stackpole); "Conversation Across Time", Ansel Adams/Morton Beebe at Dominican University, and "San Francisco" (One Man Show), at the Gap Art Collection in San Francisco.He worked as a photographer and film producer, based in San Francisco, working on such films as The Graduate and Petulia. He was also a pioneer in the stock photography business, helping to establish and successfully grow The Image Bank, the first modern stock agency.Morton continues to work from San Francisco, California, where he lives with his wife, Danielle Chavanon Beebe. Current projects include editorial and advertising assignments, a large stock archive represented by Corbis, and an ongoing underwater video project with the Deep Flight Aviator submersible.South Pole Expedition: Fifty years after their first trip to Antarctica, American photographer Morton Beebe (PIO Operation Deep Freeze 1957-58) and New Zealand author and journalist Geoffrey Lee Martin (1957 Member of Sir Edmund Hillary's Team and author of Hellbent for the Pole) return to the continent on a visit to the new Amundsen-Scott South Pole Base.The prospect of relating the technological and scientific advances made in Antarctic exploration and experimentation has been the primary inspiration for this project. The significance of current projects in the region will be greatly magnified by the contrast with the humble beginnings of Antarctic operations in 1957-58.
