These are amazing photgraphs both technically and socially.

Thanks for sharing the article. I think that people who document life like this should be seen more widely, that way we would really start to understand how man has changed the world.

Exactly! It's absolutely stunning to see how changes, other people make, in their own life can change so much about how other people live their life.. and are even forced to change.. and to witness and to see how the changing times can effect a whole nation and their heritage.. though the population of Greenland is only about 65.000 people..
and maybe that has a dramatic affect on the change..

but these pictures do speak more than a thousand words and I do adore his works and all the effort he puts into them,
I recommend to you to see his other works and albums..

cheers from Iceland

Thanks for pointing us to them, I've noticed a lot of very exciting photography coming from Iceland recently.

I'm lost for words
such passion, emotion reflected onto canvas
