An Unexpected Love
My love for Iceland was born unexpectedly, I absolutely didn’t see it coming and it washed over me like a tidal wave in a monsoon. We were planning a holiday of a lifetime. Somewhere with beautiful scenery to photograph, that was the only stipulation. It was more of an exploring holiday rather than the usual beach holiday we were used to.
Countries were thrown in the ring, I really wanted to go to Sweden and my husband threw in Iceland. It’s like I didn’t even know it existed ...
The idea came to me after searching for companies to have a photobook made. I wanted something of the highest quality.

Reflections on the Materiality of Film, with PANF Plus in the Montana Snow
Snow is a beautiful subject for ILFORD PANF Plus. Thankfully my quiet mountain town of Bozeman, Montana, USA—has lots of snow, and I have lots of PANF film. As snow can be such an intricate and momentary subject, it makes an appropriate subject for reflecting on the material and time-conscious process of creating an analog image.
I recently returned to film photography after a ten-year hiatus. I’ve been delighted to again...
