Iceland Road Trip – 4
Back on the road, and the first stop is Goðafoss. This is a spectacular waterfall and legendarily associated with Iceland’s conversion to Christianity (it’s not a true story, but pretty cool anyway). The powerful waterfall flows unfettered despite the cold and surrounding ice. Tourist walk along the marked paths and take photos. I try to…

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…

Iceland Road Trip – 2
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. We load our things to the car and head down to the Reynisfjara beach with the Hálsanefshellir Cave, something we didn’t get time for on…

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.

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…

Copenhagen
The flight to Copenhagen, involved stopping at Singapore and Heathrow. Singapore International Airport is hot and quiet at night. There’s nothing to do but sit and wait to be screened by security and let back on the plane. The flight from Singapore is mercifully emptier. A few lucky people are able to stretch out on…

New Gear & Film
Recently I received a Miyama RB67. Someone gave it to me on the basis that it was moulding away in their house and they’d prefer someone to use it. So I spent a bit of time waiting out the remaining days of my job and attempting to clean it out. Most of that black light-sealing…

More Film Shots

September Graffiti
So when I left my job I got to be twice as busy. Years ago, I would spend my birthday going around taking photos of graffiti and street art around Canberra. And I hadn’t done it in a while. I also recently had a talk at the Dickson College about my graffiti/street art photography. Included…
