Strolling in Rio

I snapped these while I was walking around. As always, I love neon-coloured details!

'Women are Heroes' by JR

I LOVE JR's work... the french photographer who has done huge photo projects in slums and cities allover the world, engaging the people who live them in the projects. Imagine a whole favela with huge photographs pasted on the walls, roofs, busses etc. Its just superb!! I have followed his work since I went to his first solo-echibition in my local bar in London. That was 6 years ago. 
Now his film Women are Heroes is out. Check it out!!

Living with Karen-people in the Thai Jungle

A couple of months ago I met Line, a norwegian architect who lives in the jungle in Thailand, on the boarder of Burma. She has been living there for more than two years now, after arriving there to work on a housing project and then decided to stay. Now she lives with a Karen-refugee family and builds houses in collaboration with the people in the village. Check out her blog & what she does here! I stayed there for two days and a night, getting to know her little village and her 'family'. Line is one of the most cheerful, energetic and positive people I have EVER met!!

Wasteland by Vik Muniz

I LOVE this project by brazilian artist Vik Muniz. He has worked with the people working at a huge garbage dump in Rio and together with them made art & portraits of all the junk.
When I was in Brazil the film was just released so I saw it in portuguese. Understood about half of it! I love when art is combined with social issues and responsibility, and when there is human interactions what change people's lives - like in this case. You should definately see the film!! And read more about him in The New York Times!

Vegetable Orchestra

The Vegetable Orchestra is so nerdy. But oh so cool. Here they are recording their third album Onion Noise.

Jardim Botanico in Rio

When I was in Rio I went to the very green and nice botanical garden. I had been told it was super nice, but I ended up there kind of by mistake. I took the bus from Urca to Ipanema, but jumped on the wrong one. So I jumped off here. Sometimes mistakes are great! You end up seeing a lot more!

Where I was Born

This is where I lived the first few years of my life. In the flat above this garage in Gabelsgate at Frogner. It was super! I walked past there the other day and the little house is much much smaller than I recall as a little girl!

Stordalen meets Skreiberg

Last week I interviewed Petter Stordalen, the norwegian hotel-tycoon, who is the CEO of the Choice Hotels chain. It is for the UK based Exceptional magazine. Stordalen is known for his flamboyant character - and I really enjoyed the assignment. The first half hour we spent talking about LOVE, in general, which is a pretty good start for an interview. Then it went on to the importance of enthusiasm, how to motivate people and making a difference. I'm now a fan of Stordalen! Photographer Richard Hauglin took this picture of us while we were chatting.
