VISUAL Diary

An attempt to subvert social media and stay in touch with those around me. Remember when Instagram was for sharing photos?

Brím

This comes from a run through photo session of a new Icelandic opera called Brím. The only light source was an LED attached to the videographer who is a part of the show. I was super nervous of the darkness, but in this case it worked out perfect.

This is the greatest landscape painting I have ever seen with my own eyes.

Landscape by Stebbi Mot Tan

This is the greatest landscape painting I have ever seen with my own eyes. Not only is the color absolutely perfect, the brush work is as perfect as it gets, and the chosen location is a mix of reality and what the painter was seeing in his mind. The depth it is able to convey is astounding. You can walk into this painting. It is close to 3 meters long by 1.5 meters tall making it cinematic and it rivals any landscape I have seen on film. Truly blessed to have been able to stand in front of this for a few hours one night at a party last spring.

Walking home from a party a few Friday’s back and this garden caught my eye. Now, I walk this path often and the garden is a community art gallery, programmed by a local collective of sculpture artists and rotating through various shows throughout the year. That in itself makes me feel all warm inside, but the fact that the art makes me stop and document it more often than not is truly special. This is what the world needs: people contributing their art to a space that allows for everyone to enjoy it. This is what makes the world go round.

Sculpture by Edda Karólína

A friend of mine made this sculpture for a show and I missed it, so I asked her if I could take photographs of it because I loved it so much. We did some typical documentation of it and the. Left the space and found a spot that fit its vibe. The sculpture is by Edda Karólína who I have the pleasure of working with frequently. Her art is absolutely brilliant.
