For me, these images eloquently refute Russ Lewis's essay in which he asserts that the camera can only "record."
These are more expressive to me than many paintings.

If you have any tips for March in Iceland, let me know.

I'll second that. Nice set, and I especially like the minimalism of the second image.

Eric - is there a link to the Russ Lewis essay?

Terry - Wishing you a fruitful visit. Tip: don't let your charges plant tripods in the middle of icy roads. Please post images from your expedition.

In the first post in the thread "What's Photography For" in the Coffee Corner.

No "charges" this time, just my wife and I. And, yes, we will be careful where we stop...if only there was a map of laybys (or is that laybies?).
