photos from home

Here are some photos from where I grew up. I love my childhood memories from growing up at a farm on the country side. I'm a city girl now, but I still appreciate (and need) some peace and quiet time every one in a while.

ACAD Viewbook 2009-2010

Today I discovered that the new ACAD Viewbook is available on the school's website.
I photographed most of the photos in it,so it's always exciting to see the finished product.

Frognerbadet,Oslo

Someone diving from 10m at the coolest and most retro public outdoor swimming bath I know: Frognerbadet.
It's inside the famous sculpture park in Oslo, Frognerparken also called Vigelandsparken (after the artist Vigeland). The park has outdoor swimming pools, lots of green piknik area, trees, icecream and fast food, volleyball, concerts at nighttime ( Norwegian Wood music festival in June), underwater windows and a water slide. It was first opened in 1956, and has kept the retro look.
worthwhile a visit! It's just a nostalgic place, and I'm very weak for anything nostalgic/romantic.Places like Frognerbadet gives me memories of a happy childhood.

Huk, Oslo

Ocean View from Huk, a public beach in Oslo. Do you notice the nice colour discord between the red and the blue?

My sister and I in the newspaper

A couple of days ago a national newspaper called Nationen (mainly about agriculture, but also a daily newspaper) interviewed my sister about some political debate (she's an organic pig farmer), and I took some photos of her and the pigs instead of the newspaper having to send a photographer. They only used one photo (the one in colour), but it was fun to see both our names on the same page! I attached a b&w series from the photo shoot as well.It's been very warm weather recently, so we have used the water sprinkler to cool down the animals.The pigs love water!

Some friends of mine got married!

Some theater friends of mine got married last weekend, and I photographed the wedding . The ceremony was in the woods by a river and a waterfall! Very dramatic and romantic. The dinner and the party was at a theater with 200 guests and lots of entertainment. The wedding was beautiful and it was great to see so many friends that I haven't seen in such a long time again.

summer in Oslo

It's summertime in Norway and I have spent time with my favorite children in Oslo.
Lazy days including lots of ice cream and swimming - what a wonderful life!
