Jökulsárlón Lagoon - Icelandic Portfolio One

I spent three blocks of time over three days photographing the Jökulsárlón Lagoon. The photos pictured here were all made during a magical moment that lasted nearly five hours. Transfixed by the changing, sky, light and water, I could have spent days photographing these ice sculptures carved by wind and water.

Did You Know (25)?

Laozi, author of Tao Te Ching, lived around the the 6th century BC and is considered to be the “father of Taoism.” Often associated symbolically with a black and white circle that melts together to form the yin and the yang, Taoism is a philosophy and ethic that suggests we live in the moment and go with the flow. When considering the nature of one’s existence, Laozi (also Lao Tzu) saw water as a metaphor for being. His thoughts on this subject continue to resonate today, “The very softest thing of all can ride like a galloping horse through the hardest of things. Like water, like water penetrating rock, and so the invisible enters in.”
