The Tonsillectomy of A Monk Fish

I'm in Iceland, and I haven't shot one iconic shot yet. Although I dream of it I'm driven to encounter real people that are forgotten in Iceland.
So here I am walking into a fishing industry and stumble upon a Monk fish and the Fisherman in a tiny village.

I know most only look at images and forget the story. But remember with out the story the picture is just a picture.

the inside of his abyss-like throat: just as sharp and rugged and primeval looking as the icelandic landscape in the back! amazing, how the fisherman holding him is becoming one with him: same sharpness, same audacity, same punch in his pose and facial expression! they're two of a kind! ; ) really great shot, glenn!! it may not be "iconic" but it's giving us an inkling of what iceland feels like! lots of potential for myth and story in this shot, too… greetings, sabine.

You travel around the world and your pictures always show moments many people wouldn`t have seen.
I enjoy reading your informations about the pictures - it completes the impression so much.
