I went to Iceland A week on the south coast of Iceland with Marc Rassel, Henry Eiland, and a group of incredible photographers. Brilliant sunsets, soaked clothes, no sleep, and the philosophy of setting yourself crazy goals on a trip to push past the postcard shots. The first of several Iceland posts to come.
