Gitzo Fleece – This One Goes Up To 11.
Within a stone’s throw of the Arctic Circle in Iceland. Photo: Dave Delnea It’s been a while since an unapologetic gear post but I need to get this out there. I love the Gitzo fleece jacket. It’s not right for a guy to love a jacket this much, much less a jacket that raises my nerd factor to 11. Hell, …
Nothing Left to Take Away
Antoine de Saint-Exupery said, “a designer knows he has achieved perfection not when there is nothing left to add but when there is nothing left to take away.” I wouldn’t claim perfection for any of my images, that’s not the point of my quoting this, but I love the idea that a move towards mastery in photography is a move …
Coming Home
Dave Delnea on the rocks in Iceland. (Somewhere Northeast-ish to be more specific.) Last night in Reykjavik. This is an amazing little city. I think from now on when people ask my favourite city, it’s going to be hard not to tell them it’s Reykjavic. We’re heading out to have one last meal and I found a place that serves …
Getting It Done
NYC, 2010. The outside wall of a Brooklyn Clothing store. I’m in Iceland right now, so this one was auto-posted. See y’all when I get home. I hope to get time to send a postcard, but don’t hold your breath. The tent doesn’t have wifi. I had to laugh today when I got yet another couple of comments and emails …
Postcards from Iceland
Jokulsarlon, Iceland. A quickie from Iceland. Unbelievable here. Have I said that already? Un-Believe-Able. Last night we camped on the tundra within sight of icebergs. How cool is that? (It’s pretty darn cool.) The shot above is from one of the series of images I’m putting together. Can’t wait to share this stuff. Having way too much fun but I’ve …
Postcard from Iceland
Hi folks. Wow, what an amazing 6 days this has been. I’m in a hotel in Hofn right now, first time we’ve not tented it somewhere off the road. We’re having an amazing time. This place is unlike any place I’ve been. This morning I had a cup of hot coffee behind a waterfall after eating breakfast in a cave …
August 2010 Wallpapers
August wallpapers are here, in both 2560×1600 and 1280×853. I shot this in Gasworks Park in Seattle as a creative exercise exploring abstracts on a theme – the theme of this simply being blue. This is a closer view of larger piece of machinery, de-focused to allow the shapes and colours to interact without the need to be something specific. …
Filters & The Creative Process
Good news for all my friends and students who have been eagerly chomping at the bit to get their hands on the Singh-Ray Gold-N-Blue Polarizing filter: they’re back in stock. Now I know y’all don’t like these things, and I’m as guilty as anyone of struggling to learn to use this filter a little more judiciously. I also know not …
Vision & Voice Released and Shipping
Well, the day is upon us. The final book in the vision trilogy is out and Amazon has started shipping it – which means others are soon to follow, and places like Amazon.ca and other Amazon.co.uk should have them heading out within a month. I can’t tell you how excited I am to have this done and out there as …
Captivated by Erwitt.
Copyright Elliott Erwitt. During my time in NYC I met Elliott Erwitt again. Not in person, but through his work. It’s been a couple years since I first looked at Erwitt’s work and for some reason seeing it this time made a significantly different impression on me. In fact, Erwitt kept popping up. The first time was in the Chelsea …
