Welcome to my first post on Guide to Iceland's connect with a local!

One thing I can promise with my blogging right from the beginning is that there will never be very many words, with much more emphasis on the photography.  

With that out of the way, I present to you, ladies and gentlemen the first instalment of a road trip I undertook with Frank, a Belgian fellow I met one glorious day outside the sun voyager sculpture in Reykjavík.

Almost all of the shots were grabbed as we were zooming along the ring road, the wonderful Route 1, Frank driving, yours truly hanging  out on the right.

About the author

I moved out to Iceland about three years ago for my Masters, and loved it so much that I stayed! I have been to most parts of Iceland in all seasons and have seen my fair share of northern lights. Here in Iceland, I spend my time blogging my road trips, taking pictures, and teaching people how to take the best pictures possible! Check out my blog and my Instagram and see if you like what I do. IF you do like what you see, then come and shoot with me! Thanks for stopping by, Joseph
