San Francisco: Most of the team has packed up their gear and flown home safely from Iceland and the adventure. Many have already boarded planes and left for other destinations. John McDermott is off to Texas for a shoot. Richard Morgenstein --home for a day--then on a plane to shoot in LA. As I write John Isaac is enroute to...

Reykjavik: Friday night's wrap-up party at the Apple store was a smashing success, just like the rest of the adventure. For me, the story of Iceland's Petar Jonasson, one of the 150 or so attendee's, highlights the evening, and epitomizes the entire week. The story goes like this: Earlier in the day, George Jardine, Adobe Lightroom's evangelist and midwife, and...

Fosshotel Nesbud: Sometimes pushing the journey beyond the next bend in the road is what makes all the difference. At least that is what happened today. It's Thursday in Iceland and the morning threatened rain. Much of the team opted to stay indoors, working on their prints and images for Friday night's slide show. Before the storm hit, Bill Atkinson...

We are at Fosshotel Nesbud, and the weather has gone from good to fantastic. (As you can see by the photo I took this morning shown here.) All the Icelanders want us to stay a few weeks longer: they believe we've pleased the Viking gods with our visit and that explains the first good weather of the summer. I'm exaggerating...

Fosshotel Reykholt : The adventure is going very smoothly. Everyone on the team is filling their Sandisk cards with great photos and we are quickly getting up to speed using Adobe Lightroom to edit and process and print our images. However, there is one problem: lack of sleep in catching up with me and I'm starting to make stupid mistakes...

Reykholt, Iceland: It's 10 pm and the sky is a brilliant blue and the sun is reflecting off a few high clouds. Obviously the weather is cooperating with our adventure. Yesterday, we left Reykjavik in a blur of action. The entire team and luggage piled into 6 rental cars provided by Hertz and made the 1.5 hour drive across north...

Reykjavik, Iceland: Everyone has safely flown in from all around the globe and the adventure has officially started! Earlier this evening, before the opening presentation by the Icelandic photographer, Sigurgeir Sigurjónsson, and before our elaborate Icelandic dinner hosted by ExpoImaging, I had the honor or welcoming the group and this is what I said: I've been dreaming of this moment...

Enroute to Iceland: Sometimes there isn't a lesson; there is just a story. In this case, it's really a worry. I'm talking about the weather, and so was everyone else I met today as I left Norway for Iceland and the start of the Adobe Lightroom Iceland Adventure. On the train to the Oslo airport strangers bemoaned the hottest summer...

Ulefoss, Norway: Sometimes we learn lessons the hard way, all by ourselves. Other times we learn by watching others. As I pack my bags and get ready to fly and meet the rest of the Adobe Iceland Adventure team I'm obsessed with what to bring and what to leave behind. I remember something that happened years ago to my good...

Ulefoss, Norway: We take SO much for granted, until we leave home. Take communications, for example. Cell phones work, mostly. Internet connections are everywhere. Heck, in the U.S. you can even pick up an old-fashioned phone and dial anywhere in the world for song. On our Adobe Iceland Adventure, which begins in just three days, communication is critical, and if...
