A rather otherwordly-looking character who sprang to life when I saw a display of shinguards in the sporting goods section of a Target store. I saw nothing but a long, eerie face and instantly purchased it to make it into a puppet head. His name is not only short for "shin guard", but is a play on the name of my favorite type of guitar, the Gibson SG.

Reykjavík airport is not the best place to wander around looking for good subjects to shoot...well, not for me, anyway. I don't really feel comfortable photographing complete strangers. If I could do that, I'd have lots of great subject matter.

That said, I liked the curling shapes of these rubber bands.

Russel Neswick has been building his concrete reef for the past 15 years. He uses garbage, concrete, and found objects to create sea creatures that exist in the ocean and in his imagination. The most amazing aspect of his art is that he isn't trained, its just something he started after he retired from being a lawyer. He doesn't know how many statues hes made over the years, but his reef is over two acres and even though hes 83 years old he goes though 300 lbs of concrete a week!
