NORWAY RELOADED

As a most radical measure to increase the accessibility of information of any sort, I decided to include this neat little post. It has the purpose to keep everyone informed about ongoing changes on this blog. Well, not everyone really, but at least the one or two visitors this blog receives on a weekly basis - one of which probably ended up here while searching the web for free porn. I heard that's how [enter unpopular web address of personal preference here] gets 99% of the visitors by the way!

So what happened here already!?

• Then, I tried a classic three light setup: one flash through softbox overhead gelled orange and two flashes with do-it-yourself diffusers left and right and partly aimed at the wall to make it turn as white as possible. And this time I had someone whom I could shoot: Chris was okay with being photo-raped. Thanks Chris

We also had some more pictures taken at the fjord in Trondheim. Oh yeah, and we had a lot of fish
