IS
I was born and raised in Iceland and from 8 years old I started showing clear signs towards arts of various origin. Dancing (Ballroom) and playing instruments, drawing and such. I had the fortune to have a father that took us brothers out driving when weather allowed and in those days I mostly sat with my nose plastered to the windscreen admiring the landscape rushing by. Those were heavenly times. My mother gave me most of those artistic feelings I had inherited but my logic I got from my father and because of it I soon realized that I didn´t have the courage to follow my instincts to chase arts. I was going to get rich instead :) I got married and moved to Sweden. Got divorced and stood there suddenly alone in a foreign country with a child on my arms. Five years later I was married again to the love of my life and we had two more boys and I started to work in Gorbachevs Leningrad and life was grand. Jeltsin took over and my work in Russia ended with a bang. Virtually broke I started a company in software development and ran that for ten years mostly breaking new ground in software until the year 2000 when the dot com crash sent me into my second lifeless existence. That more or less broke me and a few years later after struggling with existential questions I found myself back in Iceland. Divorced, sad, lonely and burnt out but with a job again. Driving a taxi. One evening I was talking to an old friend about my burnt out state and she gave me lots of good advice. Advice I didn´t take until one day she brought me a camera. It was that camera that lay the foundations for what I am today. I finally found my calling and I found out that I had something special to give. Now with a group of 70.000 members I wake up content and happy to meet the day enable to grieve my departed wife and the loss of my children with the acceptance of mind and with balance in heart. I don´t have much to give but know that I give you these products with a proud mind. Thank you :)
