VISUAL Diary

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

Scale

Being out on the glacier is totally hard to comprehend and messes with your sense of scale on a level that is only really possible to understand when you are actually in it.

Fun with Framing

I’ve been looking at this frame for a long time, there is a table at my favourite coffee shop that looks right down this way. I finally got the light I wanted and luckily, Hanna was working in her normal spot in the space, so I was able to snap the above shot. This is one of the many photos I have been taking lately that really shines at the largest viewable size, and unfortunately doesn’t feel too compelling on an phone screen.
