VISUAL Diary

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

Summer Morning

As of late (seemingly the last 3 three years) I have been busy. It’s so nice when I get the chance to walk with my son on a morning full of sun. I’m looking for things like the photograph above. The sun making a highlight on the trees in a way that can only be found interesting when you take the time to stop and look at it.

This shadow has been one that I watch creep up the wall every spring, until it reaches this point where it paints the wall with this broad stroke. The colours of the art work pop and the crispy lines created by the new camera made this year special.

Here’s the first photo I’ll share from my new camera. It is incredible to work with and I cannot wait to see the results that it might produce going forward. I’ll be printing this and showing it soon, so please let me know if you are interested in a copy.

Salzburg in the Fall.

Right after my last post here, things got considerably busy in my life.

There was:

  • A Listaháskóli portrait project

  • an art festival

  • a wedding

  • a month in Berlin

  • another wedding

  • a French movie

  • a dance festival

  • a trip to Salzburg

  • a month in the US

  • working on an HBO drama.

It’s been as hectic as can be. I’ve gained so much over the last year, I don’t even know where to start. The above photograph comes from our trip to Salzburg, which was a pivotal moment in my life as of late. I bought a new camera and took some amazing photographs. This one was taken with my old camera and proves that I am now spoilt for choice when it comes to getting the correct moment. The compact, concealed nature of the Q makes a night shot like this super easy to pull off. You never feel exposed with that camera and its capabilities are beyond reproach. Not bad for a camera that is round about a decade old.

When you realise the grass never stops growing.

Sat at dinner after a long day on set, still needing to get my truck into the security of a garage, what with all the merchandise in need of a secure space in a town of less than 1000 people, I looked at my health app and saw that I hadn’t yet reached 10k steps for the day. So, I got up from dinner, went to the garage and then walked to the beach with my camera. The resulting sight is what I present here, a black sand and blue cloud moment around 22:15. Ended my day with about 6 new snaps and 13k steps.
