    A series of portraits in Reykjavik, Iceland I shot during the month of January, on the modern scene of music, fashion and art.  As Iceland is a small but very present circle in the current world of culture, if you are not legit then you are written off quickly as I was at-least told.  I spent two weeks in the city going to people’s studios, homes and lofts as well as raw Iceland environments to photograph and hang out with them.  

    Above:  Sólstafir, Iceland’s most famous metal band, shot out in the arctic tundra a few minutes outside of the city.

  • Iceland_ Jan ‘13

  • Jan 1, 2013- New Years day:

    I decided that I was going to make 2013 heavily weighed on making personal work.  Committing time, effort, and personal funds into it, whatever it would take, I decided it was a must.   I truly feel that going to focus on creating a project or body of work and to do it well is so important.  Then I further realized the underlying feeling:  over the course of my career, it is more important to me personally, to be creating work that is respected by the people and artists I respect rather than focusing on trying to bill out a million dollars per year.    shit- thats just me though.

    Jan 15, 2013 I took off to Iceland for 30 days with no plan, contact, obligation, or fuckin clue.  All I knew was I wanted to go post up somewhere for 30 straight days to do nothing but explore, experiment, and create new personal work.  Over the course of the next week I will be releasing parts of that new body.
