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

Happy New Year to everyone except those who work in Alþingi. Do a better job of representing everyone, not just the wealthy. As an immigrant that is forced to pay attention because of your incompetence, I am privileged enough to understand just how bad you are at your job. Do better for those who don’t have the privilege to know how you are failing them.

ROF by Sveinbjörg Þórhallsdóttir
Halla Þórðardóttir danced this piece beautifully the other night. I was in the audience, photographing from a stationary seat as were the constraints of the gig, working as the Reykjavík Dance Festival’s photographer for the 5th year in a row. Sometimes I am able to watch run-throughs and move around and other times, I have to get the right seat so that I can make the most of the show while not interrupting the enjoyment of others. This was a mighty task, as the music was not the loudest and lighting was on the dim side. Still, the above photo is one of my favourites from this past iteration of the festival.
