Walking on Thin Ice

Hiking in beautiful Thórsmörk, Iceland we stopped for a break. My friend Guðmar gingerly walks on the thin ice over the flowing water beneath while the snow falls from above.

I currently reside in Brooklyn, New York. My journalistic portraiture, landscape and event photography is motivated by my support to specific social causes and the struggle for social justice around the world. My portraits are motivated by my love of dance, jazz and classical music and my deep respect and admiration for the performers. My landscape and wildlife photography is motivated by the creativity and beauty of nature. My intent is for the viewer to travel into the photographic scene and absorb the emotions, energy and serenity the landscape, the person or the scene emits.
