    Your book has arrived finally! My dad and I were so excited to see the photos and the videos of their process. Unfortunately my father passed away a month ago from cancer and didn't get the chance to see the book he was so excited for. He had a passion for photography and we would watch your videos together, and we would go on our own little adventures taking photos. The book is great and your videos (old and new) bring comfort in these turbulent times. Perhaps this is a sign to visit Iceland like my dad wanted. But for now, your videos bring the pleasant memory of bonding over photography and the inspiration you would give us. Thank you
