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.

The Adriatic Sea

With hot summer days comes the need to cool down and never have I felt as cooled after dip in this sea. The salt content is quite high, so you end up being able to float on the surface without any reason to to move at all. The level of relaxation in that is on another level. Add to it some wine and a toke of a joint and you are living your best life.

Wicklow Mountains, Ireland

When I was composing this photograph I was frustrated that Kira and Pat had leapt into the foreground of the space and it was not until I was able to sit down and edit that I realized they added a certain dynamic to the shot that otherwise was missing in my other frames of the moment. Their excitement to see the sight puts some perspective on the grandeur of the mountains here in this exceptionally beautiful land. If not for their exuberance, the shot would not have come out how it did, and thus, they can be credited as saving the shot.

Kara

This room was a completely dark, save for a few spotlights marking signage and a window that was covered in a red gel. These are the shots I live for. Being able use available light and create a portrait that is absolutely stunning.

Tisno, Croatia

Falling behind on my goal to post a photo a day here. So is life when things get busy and look like this on holiday. I want to get better at posting, so here’s a start.
