TITLE: Intercalary wreck

Intercalary wreck: A testimony of time and nature in Iceland.

The image shows the wreckage of a DC-3 plane washed up on the black sand beach of Sólheimasandur in Iceland. The wreck of the DC-3 is a remnant of the US military that crashed on the beach in 1973 during a training mission.

The use of black and white heightens the dramatic impact of the image, creating an atmosphere of mystery and solitude

The black sand beaches of Sólheimasandur are formed by the erosion of volcanic rocks. Iceland is a land of fire and ice, with spectacular landscapes.

I am a Canadian photographer, specializing in general black and white photography.

For me... Photographers capture moments to create lasting memories or spark thought and discussion. Photography exploiting a rare and unusual situation is my main language. I want my photographs to be timeless. There is just a present moment, just light, textures and shapes, a poem... a fable.
