Tim KellnerI think over again my small adventures, my fears Those small ones that seemed so big. For all the vital things I had to get and to reach. And yet there is only one great thing, The only thing, To live to see the great day that dawns And the light that fills the world.
ArcticTim Kellner2016-10-23 | I think over again my small adventures, my fears Those small ones that seemed so big. For all the vital things I had to get and to reach. And yet there is only one great thing, The only thing, To live to see the great day that dawns And the light that fills the world.

I took a few weeks to drive solo up the coast of Oregon at the end of last year. Every time I immerse myself into one of these landscapes so many different thoughts and emotions are brought to the surface, so I thought this time that I would record them. I love working with old tape recordings so I made some of my own.

I spent one of the harshest months of the year wandering and trekking over a few of the more northern islands in the world. I knew it wasn't going to be easy, but nothing could quite prepare me for the brutal shooting conditions and loneliness of a month alone in those parts. It pushed me to my limits. Many would prefer the more tropical islands but for me the winter islands are where I come alive. The cold otherworldly landscapes and deep dark color palettes contrast meeting the warm and inviting people that have made these places home.

Sri Lanka is one of the closest places to paradise that I've been but there was a brutal 25 year civil war that lasted until 2009 that devastated much of the beautiful country. I visited with some of the people directly affected by the conflict and learned about how the organization Peace Direct is helping to keep the peace.
