VISUAL Diary

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

Kara and Maggie Visit-22.jpg

ƒ/10.0 | 1/125 | ISO 100

Been a while, as it always is when things get busy. Now that things are slow, I may as well post some photos and tell the story a bit more. I was recently on a production in the Faroe Islands, which as you can see is a special place on this planet. Yes, that is a waterfall ending in the Atlantic Ocean. Pretty simple landscape photo, open the aperture, lower the ISO and try to balance the light for the highest highlights and dark lowlights. My favourite part is the colour of the ocean, which was as beautiful a colour of the ocean as you’ll ever see.

Self-Portrait 21.2.20

This is me. This is the face of someone hurting. I’m not feeling my best right now. Things get into my sphere and they bring me down. The world is facing so much at the moment and somehow I can’t separate it from me. I feel like people are scared, or they are dumb, or they don’t know how to do anything but act corrupt. And to top it off, there is a virus that threatens to infect and kill quite a large number of people.

Summer Road Trip

It’s dark here in Iceland now, so I am looking for any light that I can. Thinking back to this mid-summer camping and road trip that Kara, Maggie, and I went on. The Volcano in the distance here is called Helka. The clouds on this day were just epic. Casting massive shadows over the land intermittently as we drove along the glacial runoff river heading towards the sea.
