Perlan dome.

Forgot to post this one from the Perlan Museum before moving along further into Reykjavik.

Straight shot from the camera, no edits.

Fiddling around with the Leica D-Lux 8 this morning. Feels like it will be a fun “every day” camera. Juno was nice enough to pose.

Hallgrimskirkja photo.

While poking about the less populated places within the Hallgrimskirkja Cathedral, found these beautiful black and white photos hung in the one side hall.

Hallgrimskirkja arches.

Spent some time in the Hallgrimskirkja cathedral in Reykjavik, Iceland. Took a moment to break from the group and explore the less frequented bits … like this lovely little side hall.

Hallgrimskirkja ceiling.

Switching locations to the Hallgrimskirkja cathedral in Reykjavik, Iceland. Never has there been a more viking looking thing. Pretty awe inspiring from the outside, then I looked up from within and saw this.

Perlan Deck.

Shot from the Perlan Museum observation deck of the Perlan Museum observation deck. Some dramatic editing to enhance the metallic drama.

Watching the Daily Show while eating dinner. Tipped back the stemless glass of wine and saw this. Downed the wine and jammed the iPhone camera into the glass. Bit of editing later and here we are … gravitation subspace wine distortion.

Happy Caturday from Juno and Ringo!

Perlan viewer.

Day one on our trip to Iceland, we visited the Perlan Museum in Reykjavik. There was just something about the retro industrial look of the viewer. Not sure which version I prefer. The black and white version gives the metal a glow that I really like while the color version using one of the Leica Looks create such a cool retro vibe that I sort of dig, too.

This one is living rent free in my head this holiday season. Catchy tune enough to like … then listened to the lyrics. Amazing.

 

Perlan compass.

Day one on our trip to Iceland, we visited the Perlan Museum in Reykjavik. This compass stood out in the clear crisp air while out on the observation deck.

Woke up to back to back coffee photos on the internet. Inspired to snap a quick shot. Coffee time / Adventure Time … same thing really.

Snapped on the streets of New York.

Golden path.

Sometimes you just look up from your walk and think “I should snap a photo”. Pretty much what happened here.

Golden arch.

Making my way through Central Park, heading west to grab a train downtown. Empty path. Dramatically lit.

A few weeks ago, I posted about archiving content off of a recently passed coworker’s laptop. Finished up this afternoon. There is something unsettling about reducing the past few years of someone’s work life into a little metal and plastic enclosure. Doesn’t feel real. Doesn’t feel right.

Stop only.

It said “stop only” … so I did, to take a photo. As bustling as NYC is, I am amazed at how frequently you can come across empty streets like this.

249 1/2.

Sometimes it’s the little things that catch your eye, like an unusual home number on an immaculately painted, bright red door. Love all the random and wonderful things that stumble across when walking the streets of New York.

Street food.

Right next to Bryant Park, turned and saw this couple, kissed by the light of a food cart, enveloped in its smoke.

Home sick.

Only lived in NYC for about 3 months but we connected hard, so much that I feel home sick while away. Walking down her streets the other day, say this street art, felt pretty on point.

Cracked self portrait.

Found this full sized cracked mirror on the sidewalk while walking though downtown NYC.

NYC Public Library.

“Peter, at 1:40 this afternoon at the main branch of the New York Public Library on Fifth Avenue, ten people witnessed a free-roaming, vaporous, full-torso apparition. It blew books from shelves at twenty feet away. Scared the socks off some poor librarian.”

Having breakfast on 35th St, saw a man on a bike crash into a man walking in the street. They stood up, made sure each other was ok, hugged, fist bumped and went their own ways. Kindness and care still exist, sometimes in the most unlikely of places.

Reading the Fall edition of Fast Company on the train to NYC, connected with this line in their gen AI article …

“Faced with an all-you-can-eat buffet of words, images, and sounds, we taste everything yet savor nothing. “

Feels about right.

Taken in Iceland a few weeks back, I remember it being really cold and me being annoyed by camera settings … think I accidentally nailed the “annoyance” vibe. Flattering? No. Makes me smile? Yes.
