Hot and hearty Breakfast

Picking up a camera in defend of your self might seem a strange thing to do. But being on a homeground there, taking pictures can calm you down as well as build a wall between you and the environment. You can by lifting the camera to your eye submerge in to a different world. World of your own. Become an island amongst things unknown.

Arriving to Texas after couple of days of fast travel through USA was a bit of a shock I have to admit. I was starting to realize that this was no more the secure home of Iceland and I was in fact not sure on what I had gotten my self into. On way of dealing with uncertanity is to go out and take some pictures. Specially of things you do not understand or seem exotic to you. In that way you can study the image later and see what is so different from your normal environment.

It was to be our first night in Benzi and the heat was un familiar as well as the means of getting around in this area.

We had to get some thing to eat and as a starter for the trip and its flow of images I took the camera with me. From now on I would not seek up images but the images would seek me up. I was a tourist. An amateure photographer and would only lift the camera if some thing in the environment gave me enough soul and interest to tak a shot. From now on and through out the trip I would work images just as I would work a prose. What would come would come and then later be scrutinized to see if some magic had happen.

That magic to me is in the book USA My Way
