I won the third prize in the Norwegian Picture of the Year award, in the category Sport Action.
Yeah well. Here’s the pic that won.
By:larm
By:larm is a music festival held in Oslo each year, primarily for unsigned bands. The bands play short sets of 30 minutes each, and there are concerts on at least 15 venues all over town. I covered the event for a newspaper, assigned to do concert shots. Basically this meant running from concert to concert, shooting three songs on each, and then going on.
Didn’t have much time to do anything other than the concerts, but ah well. Here are some shots.

Belated posting: another demonstration in Oslo
From last Saturday. It went along peaceful this time.
It didn’t get any press. Maybe nobody even noticed.
“No peace without freedom. No freedom without fight. Free Palestine”
“It’s enough”

Demonstration ends, the group dissolves
Clashes over Gaza in Oslo
Peaceful protest turn ugly in Oslo.
Gangs of kids with no political agenda, only desire to fight.
Make everything difficult for everyone else.
Long time no see
Sorry about no updates lately. Still in Oslo, not much going on. Bangladesh in december will most probably be cancelled. Going to try and get to Asia sometime in early spring, around february.
Have some projects going on, seems to be focused on people living on the outside of the norm, people that are living their lives seemingly unaffected by normality and other peoples expectations. I got the idea while watching Sicko by Micheal Moore, and he is saying that (amongst other things) having debt makes people afraid to break out from the norm, because it locks you to a certain job, which again locks you to a certain lifestyle, a certain layer of society. Still only making contacts, but I’m getting there.
Pictures below are from the first photosession with an ensemble I’ve started working with. They were playing a gig at a christmas celebration at the university. The light sucked, so I hope I can shoot them some other time, and preferably somewhere either very small and intimate, or at a stage with real lighting.

Random shooting in Helsinki
Got lots of non-photographic work nowadays, some programming and with the Norwegian Pressphotographers Association. So there’s been little stuff to put on here. But here you go.
This is actually in Norway.
