Iceland Underwater

I went on a diving trip this past weekend, in Eyjafjor∂ur and around the North of Iceland, then down to Silfra in Thingvellir Naitonal Park. It was so beautiful and freezing cold! I am thinking about how to pair up underwater images with above-water images. Here are some with similarities.

Car Ride

I went on a couple of trips this week and entertained myself in the car by taking exposures of 4-8 seconds out the window. This is approaching the town of Varmahli∂ on the way back from Myvatn.


These are on the way back to Skagaströnd from Snæfellsnes.

Big Waves

It was very windy yesterday and there were huge waves on the ocean. The sun came out in the afternoon and the scene was something like this. The wind is so strong here, you can lean almost all your weight into it and not fall down. It gives new -and maybe more accurate- meaning to the Cat Stevens lyric, "I listen to the wind, to the wind of my soul."

Skagaströnd!

I am currently at an artist residency in a small town called Skagaströnd, in the North of Iceland. Most of my work focuses around water and the ocean, so I have been exploring a lot of beaches around this town. I found a beautiful beach the other night, from which I sewed together several photos to make this panorama. Planning to go shoot 4x5 there as soon as it's not too windy!

Olympics in Vancouver

A photo I took of these spotlights that were in the sky in Vancouver during the 2010 Olympics. 20 minute exposure, from the Burrard Bridge.
