    Film Shots

    I forgot to previously post about my film shots from Iceland, Copenhagen, Sydney and Melbourne. I’ve got to rescan these as part of a film book/zine project, but I’ve gotta get a film cutting jig first.

  • Reykjavik & Copenhagen

    Reykjavik & Copenhagen

    Spending a week in Reykjavik is good, because you can completely exhaust the number of things you want and can do in the city. For me it was seeing as many art galleries or street art pieces within walking distance of the hotel.Reykjavík Museum of Photography – A small museum located on the top floor…

    Iceland Road Trip – 5

    ArnastapiIt’s a long drive to the Snæfellsnes Peninsular. After a couple of hours we’re south enough to be free of the reach of the snow. And we don’t stop until we’re outside a Bónus in Borgarnes buying sandwiches for lunch. There’s been a lot of rain and the yellow shopping complex is rusting out from…

  • Iceland Road Trip – 3

    Iceland Road Trip – 3

    The east coast of Iceland offers sea views and winding drive through several villages. Djúpivogur is first on the list. Previously on my trip in Iceland, I had encountered a small place showing animal bones and semi-precious stones. I had found that place again, only to discover that it closed a few years back. One…

    The next morning, the meteorological service issues a warning for high winds over the south of the country (Iceland measures wind in m/s), reaching up around ninety kilometres per hour.

    Iceland Road Trip – 1

    Getting out of Reykjavik is a stressful time, but once the car hits the highway, it’s a pretty smooth ride out there. Selfoss is our first destination, to drop off our bags at the hotel and then head to Þingvellir (Thingvellir). It’s a national park and historic site as the foundation of the then Commonwealth…

  • Reykjavík

    Reykjavík

    Reykjavík has changed a lot in ten years. The last time I was here, Iceland was still recovering from the Global Financial Crisis. Now, it’s inflation. There’s more buildings now, apartments, offices and stores. And more people. More tourists. The streets of central Reykjavik are flooded with people from across the world, looking to experience…

  • Graffiti Iceland

    Graffiti Iceland

    So before going on this trip, I wondered how much street art and graffiti there was in Iceland. Well it turns out there was plenty for me to see throughout my stay on the island. There were numerous tags around the capital Reyjavík, but also murals galore. Akureyri, had plenty of the same, even in…

  • Trip Log 7: Return

    Trip Log 7: Return

    It’s been a long flight. My trip ended a couple of days ago. We had returned the car, and the energy that carried along the coast of this country had eventually left us. We had three days left in Reykjavik, but Josh and I were just spending our time counting them out. I spent the…
