After at least two years of enthusiastically thinking about it every few months, I’ve finally put together a photo book. The first of many more to come, if all goes according to plan. The book...
I have a terrible habit of starting something, becoming really excited about it for a short period of time, and then completely forgetting about it. On a road trip around northern Iceland in July 2...

If you’d made a habit of checking out this blog on a regular basis at some point, you may have noticed I’ve been doing a really lousy job of updating it. The reason for that is simple. I...

As i mentioned on Flickr the other day, my first solo exhibit outside of Iceland opened at Man-Made Images in Mountcharles, in northern Ireland on May 14, and will be up until August 14th. For thos...
What better way to follow up the volcano photos, than with some Northern Lights? Next up, I’m going to will the long dormant Geysir to start spurting again, and maybe go photograph some whales...
When the first volcanic eruption started in March, I adamantly refused to be one of the herd flocking to the site to take pictures of it. Literally thousands of people did so, and the thought of the ...
When i was a kid, my parents subscribed to World magazine for me and my brother, because we were smart nerdy kids and enjoyed reading about science related stuff.. On the back of each issue, there w...
So, only about 10 days til I leave for Manhattan, (will be staying march 9th-17th) Any and all suggestions welcome. I’m busily knitting myself a wool dress and leg warmers and spending more ti...
I’m very picky about what photos I choose to share.. travel photos in particular.. I typically set out on excursions around iceland and return with 2, 3 photos that I find good enough for shar...
