In 2019, I took a year off and handed the itinerary to my daughter for her 20th birthday: one destination, one season, no negotiation. Secretly, the Canadian in me pictured something closer to the Caribbean. She chose Iceland in winter instead —an answer that startled me into surrender. What followed was a lesson in trust and attention: a country carved by wind, water, and volcanic memory, where daylight is brief and every tone matters. That choice gave us more than scenery: it gave us time—long stretches of silence, and the kind of open talks that only arrive when the horizon is wide and nothing asks to be hurried. These photographs are the trace of that gift: monochrome impressions of trust, presence, and a landscape that teaches you to see—and listen—differently.
