Seastack “The Man”

This seastack is called Karlinn or The Man. I guess it´s pretty manly. In the distance the island Eldey or Fire Island can be seen.

Going home

Well the time has come to go home to Iceland, for a visit. We have not been to Iceland in 2 years so everyone in the Snorrason family is very excited. We´re going to be there for 4 weeks, not a lot of time to catch up with friends and family, but we´ll try and visit as many as we can. I am taking the camera with me of course and I look forward to photograph Iceland, it´s been a while!

Keep a look out for some Icelandic scenes in the next weeks.

Nootka

III went on a photography trip to Nootka Island on the West Coast of Vancouver Island. We went fishing with Temple, and took some shots for his website.
The highlight for me was staying on Nootka Island, watching the sunset and nibbling on a fire roasted salmon 3 hours old. Nootka is on the list, of places I will return to, for further exploration.

The Lost Valley – Tahsish-Kwois Regional Park

Vancouver Island holds many treasures; some are among the most popular outdoor places in Canada, like the West Coast Trail. Others are just as magnificent but hidden because of difficult access. The result is often a pristine place, where everything is undisturbed, peaceful but strangely mysterious, Tahsish-Kwois is one of those places, like a lost Valley in the deepest inlet of Kyoqout Sound.
It is no mean feat to get to Tahsish-Kwois, first there are logging roads with their potholes and winding hairpins, 80km from Woss to the Artlish River. The only reasonable way into the park is by water and the easiest access to the water is by an abindoned logging camp near the Artlish river mouth. Read the whole story on BCoutside.com

Hey, See the poop on my head

From a recent photo shoot more on III Imaging

Photographing children can be demanding, they have a short attention span and bore easily. On a photo shoot the environment is extremely boring to young children, understandably. Having to sit still, the flashes and the endless repeats is a bit much to handle when you are around 4 years old. So the photographer has to try to be funny and exciting at the same time as creative and technical. So sometimes I have said things that make me sound a bit wacky, the title of this post is probably rather strange but it is the one phrase that has always brought a smile to a young models face. I know this as I have 2 kids and at a certain age everything that has something to do with bodily functions is unbelievably funny and fun to say. So I get to be a kid again to try to amuse the kids in front of the camera. As I have a strong dislike to hand puppets(some childhood trauma) I have to use some other means to entertain and being immature and strange seems to work.
