It’s hot and sticky in the UK again. I’m tired through lack of sleep and I refuse to pump myself full of caffeine just so I’m capable of coherent thought and thus bubble forth the beautiful, flowing prose that you expect from me. Instead, I went through photos from the G! Festival, a music festival that takes place on a beach in the Faroe Islands. You’ve seen a few but I have a lot (hundreds). There’ll probably be some more tomorrow. I’ve tried to prepare a nice selection of photos so there should be something for everyone!

Hogni, a Faroese musician. Look at his smile. Maybe my favourite photo ever! (You need to see it BIG, it’s awesome) Definitely a case of right-place-right-time. And my 100mm prime lens which seems to have truly beautiful optic characteristics.
Teitur, perhaps the most famous Faroese musician, with an adoring audience. And a rather pretty sunset in the background!
If only you could see the kid on the right’s facial expression. I think we can guess though. G! Festival is for all the family!

The lights on the water are amazing. It has an almost fantasy-like quality to it.

Abi and I were playing around with it last night… and it looks quite nice, cropped and up-close. Thought about doing some scaled-up prints of it…
Glad ya like it

Thankin’ you, ma’am.
My thoughts exactly, Tim! I have another nice green one I think; but as with 95% of my photos, they will probably never see the light of day. Until the curator of some great exhibition demands I show him!

Ah! I’ll let you know when I list for sale a print of the first one, Jaime. I’ll probably do it ‘cut price’, because I’ll probably do 6 of them… in pieces!

They throw pretty mean festivals for people who live in islands, don’t they? Coolness. Unique names for the musicians as well.
