I … have no idea what this is/was Isafjordur. Beached fishing boat Bolungarvik. Along Vestfjarðavegur (Road 60) Westfjords. More Iceland. All shot with the Pentax 6×7; all color photos taken with expired Kodak Portra film, while the black and white is Tri-x 400, my old grainy standby. Iceland is this heady mix of gorgeous, jaw-dropping landscapes and the wonderfully mundane. It’s there that I discovered I apparently have a bin fetish (! Click to email (Opens in new window).

Repurposed shipping containers Holmavik. Mike Along Djupvegur Road, Westfjords. Beached vessel Along Orlygshafnarvegur Road, Westfjords. And, in keeping with my sensibilities about film, I’m going to show the photos pretty much straight out of the scanner, with minimal-to-no editing, other than minor cropping and exposure correction. What you see here is basically what I saw there. And it was all so stunning, even the mundane stuff. Many more photos to come. Click to email (Opens in new window). Nikon FE...

I know I’ve been remiss with posting on here recently, but I’ve been working on a little something which finally went live this weekend — a Kickstarter campaign to generate initial funding so that I can produce a 70 (or so)-page hardcover book of my film photographs! You can read more about this over at the Kickstarter page HERE. But suffice it to say, I”m excited about the prospect of a proper book where the best of my photos will be collected in one place.

Sorry for the absence; I’ve been making an attempt to enjoy the city a bit more this summer, which has meant not carrying the cameras around quite as much. (Truth be told, after Iceland and carting 10 pounds worth of cameras in my pack, I’m rather happy to be a bit … unburdened!

We tried to drive on Road 630, way up in the northwest corner of the Westfjords just outside Bolungarvik, but were thwarted by quite a bit of snow that had yet to be cleared. In early June! So we walked as far as we could before, sans proper snow shoes, we had to turn back. On the walk back down, we saw this mysterious structure in the distance. Still not sure what it is/was, but it was fun to photograph, especially with the big Pentax 6×7. Does anyone have any idea what this structure might be? I work i...
