One Woman Camera Club has undergone a bit of a change in direction. I’ve started an MA course in Photojournalism and Documentary Photography so instead of the odd Lomo shot on here now and again, One Woman Camera Club is going to follow my journey through the course as a tool to share my experience with everyone and learn from it myself. I hope you’ll enjoy finding out about my (hopefully many) triumphs and (hopefully less) failures. Over and out! Svala

Ingibjörg Þorbergs Since an early age, singer and songwriter Ingibjörg Þorbergs has been a well-loved figure in Icelandic music. Her songs and lyrics have become starndard nursery rhymes that have melted into the collective memory of generations of Icelandic children. Despite a frail physique and waning eyesight at the age of 85, Ingibjörg still writes music and lyrics with a remarkably youthful spirit and tenderness. A while ago I spent an afternoon with Ingibjörg at her home in Keflavík where she gave me coffee and cakes, told me stories and played a couple of songs. Magical woman.
