Assignment – salmon, Viagra and a cap

Trond — Sat, 15 May 2010 12:24:48 +0000

Assignment for Dagens Næringsliv, a covershot for a story on products that became something other than what they set out as. The one with the black background was used on a 2-page spread.

The “studio” was set up in my basement. One speedlight with umbrella directly in front with 45 degree angle over the stuff, with additional two speedlights from either side.

Pictures in Forum

Trond — Tue, 12 Jan 2010 11:33:29 +0000

Forum is a monthly publication made by Bangladesh’s largest english language daily newspaper, and they’ve published three pictures taken in 2007 in a slum just outside of Dhaka. The slum was demolished the day before the pictures were taken because the Bangladeshi government view it as illegal. The pictures illustrate an interesting written piece called “Humanising the Poverty Discourse”.

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.

I’ve reached Grand Junction, and managed to get a room at the Melrose Hotel, even though the sign said “NO Vacancy”. It’s a lovely Victorian house downtown, with the Main Street just a block away. The hotel was founded in 1908, and back then you could rent a room for 50 cents a night. The hotel is, in fact, the only one out of twelve hotels that were once located in downtown Grand Junction.

Today I’ve driven for almost 9 hours. Really looking forward to tomorrow, which, beeing a Monday, is my day of resting. Gonna get up to speed on pictures, though, and spend a couple of hours reading.

Ol’ Waynard

Trond — Thu, 02 Oct 2008 03:29:23 +0000

I met Ol’ Waynard outside the McDonalds where the I-5 and CA-46 intersects, just northwest of Bakersfield, California.

Waynard has been hitchhiking for the last 15 years. Non-stop. Imagine that. He’s 71 years old, and crushed his ankle in an hit-and-run maybe 50 years ago. He still struggles with his injury.

He had a map of the USA, where he had marked all the roads he had hitchhiked with a yellow marker. The map was full of yellow lines going crisscross over it.

Sadly I was going in the opposite direction, so I couldn’t give him a ride. Now, I regret that I didn’t take the extra six hours to give him a lift to whereever he was going. I’m thinking, a guy like that, has to be great company.
