Elemental

In geological terms Iceland is very young and the landscape is alive with the restless play of nature’s forces. Iceland has the largest glaciers in Europe – in fact, 11% of the country is covered by glaciers. The coastline is dotted with more than one hundred fjords and green, fertile valleys extend from many of them.

Iceland also has more than 10,000 waterfalls and countless hot springs. A lot of the country is technically uninhabitable, with the moss-covered rocks of ancient lava flows and tall treeless mountains, but these moonscapes are perfect for exploring an other-wordly looking place.

do we need bloody smashed bodies to understand what is a earthquake?
do we need burning bodies to understand what is a earthquake?
what do we want to achieve with these bloody images?

Nicola Boccaccini say at Lightstalkers:

Lightstalkers: zoriahs-haiti-workshop-ideas-and-direction

“”"Ethics? I don’t see ethics in photojournalism nowadays, …generally I see only competition in a new type of commercial photography.
…and workshops, in a world overflowed by images are only a simple solution for photographers to make money in other way.
No more sentimental or personal approach in photography, nor the joy to teach something to new generations!
It is very sad but, in my point of view, this is reality.
MONEY vs ETHICS?
MONEY ALWAYS WIN!”"”
