I have arrived in Iceland once more! So good to be back. It was a positively balmy -8°C today but it doesn’t feel nearly as cold as Cornwall does at +8°C but that is down to the very dry cold. It...

A little more minimalism..
Here are a couple more pictures from my recent visit to Iceland. These vast empty spaces I find so energising, restorative, beautiful, of course, and the need to photograph them quite profound. 35mm...

The Sun Also Shines – part one..
