Iceland – by John Loomis

John Loomis, MU alum, went to beautiful Iceland.

If Iceland does anything photographically, it inspires you to come back ASAP to shoot more pictures and get further off the beaten path to explore. The textures and color palette, even in just the winter season, are incredibly beautiful. The architecture (ranging from ancient turf houses to ultra modern nordic stone/steel/glass sculptures) is really, really cool. And yeah the people are just as evocative: interesting, open, and roundly attractive with a serious sense of fashion (in central Reykjavik at least). But there is no getting around that the country, as are most places on the edge of the world, is truly pricey. We had a great time but my work there is far from finished.
