Kerið is a volcanic crater lake located in the Grímsnes area in south Iceland, along the Golden Circle. It is one of several crater lakes in the area, known as Iceland's Western Volcanic Zone, which includes the Reykjanes peninsula and the Langjökull Glacier, created as the land moved over a localized hotspot, but it is the one that has the most visually recognizable caldera still intact. The caldera, like the other volcanic rock in the area, is composed of a red (rather than black) volcanic rock. The caldera itself is approximately 55 m (180 ft) deep, 170 m (560 ft) wide, and 270 m (890 ft) across. Kerið’s caldera is one of the three most recognizable volcanic craters because at approximately 3,000 years old, it is only half the age of most of the surrounding volcanic features. The other two are Seyðishólar and Kerhóll.
Gamanmyndahátíð Flateyrar
Going back to Iceland for another project? Oh yes!!
I am very happy and excited to announce that I will be taking photographs at this years Gamanmyndahátíð Flateyrar Festival in Iceland. It is a young and small comedy film festival that will take place over a weekend held in the town of Flateyri, located in the Westfjords. It is taking place in early September and it will showcase a handfull of short "comedy" films from several Icelandic filmmakers.
Thank you to my friend Eyþór Jóvinsson for having me over to document this film festival. I am truly very happy and excited for this trip and cannot wait to actually jump on the plane and make my way back to Iceland for this project.

They dedicated a blogpost to some of my work on their website, and they had me answer some question (in Dutch) My photo on the blog will also be their homepage background image for the whole month, so that is some very nice exposure right there.
