Hopeful Vision
Reykjavik, Iceland - July 2009


This image was made on the bus as we waited to leave the airport. I thought it a good introduction to the concept of travel in a new country- we always view what we see through our own cultural eyes.

Nikon D90
1/250s f/5.6 at 135.0mm iso320 full exif

other sizes: small medium large original auto

And the extra blur from the bifocals says something as well I think. We may not always see what there really is that is there, and there is a part that is an unknown, which makes it much more fun. Great idea for a shot and I like that you lead your gallery with this one.

Well said! Our culture filters our perceptions.
