Welcome!

Welcome to Cyan :salong, Jens Bjelkes gate 13-15 in Oslo for my opening of Bloom! Today I hung the pictures, and I'm happy and quite proud as it looks stylish with beautiful prints from Studio Technika here in Oslo. I'm really looking forward to the opening:))))))) Thank you to Cyan's Britta, Studio Technika and Elise Selj at Rammegalleriet for a lot of help. It all feels pretty fab!

InstaOslo on a Friday

 

Oslo Photo Marathon and the Teddy Bear Hospital

And then there was Oslo photo marathon. Twelve pictures in twelve hours, it was quite an ordeal. Thankfully Bjørn André and his sister were there to give excellent critique. Hunger, the Scream, this is also Western Oslo, A City in Motion (uploded under), Night in the City. I should have brought a tripod, I was lying on the pavement taking pictures all over Oslo and came to understand that I need Ashtanga Yoga again sometime soon.

200 entered on line, 110 started and 80 finished. There will be an exhibition, but that is in a month. It was great though and borrowing Bjørn André's hammock in between shots was a lifesaver. Will do it again next Saturday if given the chance, it was great, but it is more likely that the next big thing is being a teddy bear doctor on the 18Th. The medical students in Oslo are collecting money for a good cause, and part of that is the teddy bear hospital for the children. Some friends said they'd bring their teddy bears. They are most certainly not children any more, but still very young at heart.

Photography

It's quite scary trying to hold an exhibition of sorts. This blog has been a bit of this and that, but I've sort of decided to try to write about the process of learning how to take pictures. Somehow I can't really think of making them, I take them, it seems like the right word for now.

It started when I, after years of craving, got a Ricoh GX200 about a year ago.  All of a sudden I could see with the camera and go chasing after shades of green. I'm not sure what it is with the colour green and me. I wanted some feedback on what I was doing, and on a whim I sent some photos to International Garden Photographer of the Year. Then I got highly commended and ended up in a photobook. I decided it was time to learn some technique and get an even better camera. There is so much to learn and possibly a voice where I can play, having serious fun. It is like learning to talk again. And the process is all mine.
