B757 leaving from Reykavik, Iceland

N and the Botticellis

Something I really like to do when I go sightseeing is take pictures of the person I’m with enjoying the thing we’re there to see. I mean, I could take pictures of The Very Famous Place/Thing™ but I guarantee you that a zillion pictures of it already exist online and a million times better composed and lit than I can do. The most I’ll do is zoom in on a detail or do some kind of weird framing.

I really love to take photos of people taking photos of things. It’s super cool to see the Mona Lisa, but the life in the eyes of a friend who is seeing it for the first time is effing priceless. I have 90 pictures of my friend K in Paris taking pictures of or looking at Paris things. Almost as many as Lyra in Las Vagas and my SO in Iceland. (When we went to the Hallgrimskirkja church in Reykavik, we just sat in the back pew and I took pictures of all the tourists taking pictures of the altar. It just floors me to think how many people in the world have that same picture of that same altar in their pocket computer right now.)

As for me? I don’t take a lot of selfies. If I’m going to go somewhere, I would rather spend more time being present. And I don’t love pictures of myself. I see me every day, why do I need to see me more?

ANYWAY. The MIA (Minneapolis Institute of Art) is lucky to have a special exhibit of a few Botticellis (and some other Italian Renaissance artists) on loan from the Uffizi. That boy is my favorite...he’s also the favorite of my friend N. So we went together one day. (It was very bizarre to stand in front of them again--the last time I saw some of them was in Venice. ) She’s never seen them in person and it was so delightful to watch her spend time with them. N herself is a little work of art, so I hope you enjoy this little set.

N and the Botticellis under the cut.

The Sun Voyager is a pretty well known landmark in Reykjavík, easy to find, not far to walk and with an epic view of the Bay, Esja and on clear days beyond towards Snæfellsnes. Its a great place for a dawn, a sunset and one of my faves for the solstice. Just got to shoot around the crowds 🤣📸 #Iceland #travelgram #travelgoals #traveltips #reykjavik #sip #stuckinplastic #legophotography #2023 #legostagram #minifigures #toyphotography (at Sun Voyager Reykavik) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cm9y7iKM0O5/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
