Egill: Notes from the photo side

After my portfolio reviews at the Eddie Adams Workshop, I have much work to do. The take-home is doing a better job with editing. Thus, I am going to restructure my portfolio/website into the following categories:

Portfolio (20 images)

Portraits (12 images)

70% of the world (photo essay from the ocean)

Welcome to Greenland, We are Now Serving Tofu

I am making a note to self to ask Irene about platforms. I use the simple and minimalistic Indexhibit.
