Playground ...

The same as this one, which actually appeared on the cover of the novel "Tell me no Secrets" by Julie Corbin.

Gateway ...

Húsafellskirkja (church) last summer. I guess I should have taken some time to trim down the trees to get a clear view of the church.

Orca ...

Because of my profession I'm usually one of the first to get news of beached whales around the Reykjanes peninsula. Since I started photography I've tried to document these happenings and publish some sort of artistic renderings on my photostream as well. I'm having a hard time putting my finger on what exactly makes me interested in these events. I guess anyone passing by a beach where a corpse of such majestic creature was to be found would have a look. Or maybe not.

These images have received a lot of attention and consequently I've received a few emails where self proclaimed environmentalist are outraged by me taking pleasure in the death of living things. I'm kind of surprised in them reaching the conclusion that I derive any kind of joy from these events. But death, both natural as well as a consequence of human activities, is a part of life. I guess I will continue to document these events as I have go there anyway as a part of my job. Anyone is entitled to their opinion but these images are not meant to be beautiful or evoke any sense of admiration.

This orca was found near the town of Hafnir last summer.

Goddess of Hobbiton ...

Thank you all for the warm welcome to my last upload.

This one is from my summer vacation in Húsafell last summer. This is a place next to Húsafellskirkja (church). The image is only processed in Lightroom.

Hypernating ...

Happy new year to y'all!

I've been hypernating from flickr for the last year or so and I'm not sure when to return. Don't get me wrong, this is the most wonderful, inspiring and positive community I've been a part of since collage. But there is something about the look and layout of the whole thing that's constrictive and kind of stale. I think it's a shame since this website is a celebration of images.

I've received a few emails asking about my well being. I really appreciate the gesture and I can assure you that I've never been better. I haven't had much time lately to do the photography I used to do. That's mainly because I've been preoccupied with my family, paricularly my one year old daughter. I'm curious to know if she thinks the shutter release sound of my camera is a part of her fathers vocabulary. But those images are mostly for the family album.

Anyway, I intend to do a bit more of "fine art" photography in 2010 and I really look forward to starting again. I wish all my flickr friends and their families a happy new year.
