VISUAL Diary

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

I took this photograph right around the time that this section of town was completed back in 2019. It feels like a computer render to me for some reason.

Snapped this on a regional flight from Reykjavík to Seyðisfjörður. The city is quite something to view from above.

Kerið

We’ve been having a lot of earthquakes again, so in turn, I have been thinking about landscape more. This is from a spot on southern part of Iceland, pretty close to the largest cluster of summer homes in the country. It’s a volcanic crater that is around 3000 years old. The photograph I took is directly inspired by an old photo of one of my wife’s relatives at the same place many years ago.

When the winter sun is blazing, it is a special thing here in Iceland. This photo was taken in March, so it’s not exactly the super low, all-day, sunrise/sunset sun, but more like a low summer sun. It makes for some great portrait light, as you can see here.

This post of Kara also comes on our 9th wedding anniversary. There could be no better partner on this planet than Kara. She shares the world that we inhabit better than anyone I could dream of. I love you Kara!
