Today was all about Reykjavik. Mostly photographed with film. It was a great change of pace, being a tourist for the day, but in a city I feel very comfortable in, knowing my way around very well. I shot with my Hasselblad and Widelux for many of the pictures I took, which were a lot less by design. Chose my subjects carefully instead of just shooting. I love the speed of film. It slows me down, I truly enjoyed the day doing street photography. I talked to a ton of people. Many were willing to let me take their portraits – future post if they come out. If they don’t, we never talk about it again. One of those people was Phil Keoghan, host of The Amazing Race and Tough as Nails (the season finale is tonight). He could not have been nicer. We talked a bit about my cameras and Iceland. He was there traveling with his Dad. He even posed for a portrait on Skólavörðustígur Street in the center of Reykjavik with the Hallgrímskirkja church in the background. We grabbed a selfie, too – less pressure in that phone shot. It will be a week or so before I know that film portrait comes out. Fingers crossed, he said it had been quite some time since anyone took a film portrait of him.
