    Hlynur Hallsson

    Myndir - Bilder - Pictures

    Hlynur Hallsson is always “on the road.” The Icelander is a traveler between continents and cultures who, because of his interest in his fellow man, is always looking for contact and conversation with those around him. These meetings yield a wealth of snapshots that form the basis for his photo cycle “Myndir – Bilder – Pictures” from the years 2000 – 2005.
