Where Are You Going? Reykjavik

Where Are You Going?

Available for over a year

In the world’s northernmost capital, Reykjavik, Catherine Carr talks to a swimmer bequeathed a poignant request from a friend, to the shopkeeper who makes beautiful handbags out of fish skin; from the sister who makes an apology to a sibling with fresh pastries, to the roller derby girls walking on thin ice. These portraits capture something of the city’s DNA, its sense of isolation, mythical beauty and rugged adventure. (Photo: Residents of Reykjavik. Credit: Paul Jay/Loftus Media)
