Last month Jenna and I spent a week driving around the West coast of Iceland… from Reykjavik to Ísafjörður and back again. It was the most incredible landscape I’ve ever seen. Iceland, which has something like 130 active volcanoes, is the youngest part of our planet. We traversed mountains and seaside cliffs, glaciers and fjords, paved and unpaved roads took us only some 300 miles but felt like a new, foreign planet with every turn.

Including our long weekend visiting friends in Copenhagen and our two-night stretch in Stockholm, I took over 3,000 photos with my new favorite toy, the Sony NEX-6. I’ve only just begun sorting through the digital stack of pics and hope to design a small photo book for friends and family by the end of May.

The last photography book I self-published, Westward, consisted of about 200 photos from a road trip across the USA. For this Iceland book I’m hoping to narrow it down to 400 or less, or maybe make two books? One of our trip and one book of just awesome landscape photos like this one?

I don’t think I could live in Iceland, but I’ll go back anytime!
