ReykjavÃk 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.
This evening I walked down to Tesco after work to get blackcurrant tea for my throat, feeling tired, glum and burdened with a thousand things at once. On the way out I saw this watering-can lying by the side of the road; even in the gloom of a February evenoing, it was bright and shiny as a disc of primary school poster-paint. In the spring I may buy daffodils ad use it for a vase...I've always loved the cute shape of old-fashioned metal wateriong-cans.

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!

This red shoelace was all by itself along the edge of the garden space on the "N" St. side of the library this weekend. The lace looked like it was in perfect condition. Just no shoe to go with it!
John and I found this on the street. Unfortunately, the only camera we had on us was my camera phone. And it's really dark, so you can't see it very well.

Someone was obviously trying to defend their friend Eric. Found in my middle school.
I found an old whiskey decanter that I filled with pieces of toy soldiers and flags, along with some bullet fragments. I had the Uncle Sam bank - I added some more soldiers to Uncle Sam's hand and to the purse...and voila! An installation is born.
I am thankful (but saddened) for their sacrifice, but I wonder if those who make the decisions to go to war or into a conflict actually realize the REAL costs of their decisions?
Came out to my parking garage after work a couple of days ago to find this lonely teddy bear sitting on the concrete floor of the garage. I took pity and leaned him up against a post, away from various undefined stains, and had to take a snapshot.
