effervescent refractions

I returned from Iceland about a week ago and it’s taken quite a bit of time to sort the seven hundred photographs I took during my two weeks there.

I’ve been so entranced by bossa nova in the past few months that I’ve nearly forgotten my cyclic return to the bone-stirring basses of electro.
