There are certain emotions in your body that not even your best friend can sympathize with, but you will find the right film or the right book, and it will understand you.
People ask me questions like, “Oh, you look so theatrical in your photographs. Is that what you’re like when you walk down the street?” It’s like, “Of course not.” It’s such a silly question – it’s like being theatrical is a crime.
I think after Iceland’s independence in 1944, we were not very sure of ourselves and our confidence was really low. It took one generation to sort of get over that. I’m second generation.
And then within the past 10 years Iceland discovered the stock market and it just went, went, went, went, went. I think it hit a roof and it’s just crashed. Just a small percentage of the nation did a lot of damage.
i’m back at my cliff still throwing things off i listen to the sounds they make on their way down i follow him with my eyes ’till they crash imagine what my body would sound like slamming against those rocks.
