Only Girl in the World

I love the stills from Rihanna's Only Girl in the World music video. The colours, the look, the flowers, the red hair! Yum yum bubblegum!

Oslo Photo Marathon 2011

My friend Terje Abusdal is hosting this great event that takes place in Oslo on saturday the 20th of august! Where you enjoy and capture our lovely city through photography. Registration is now open, right here!

In the course of twelve hours you must take a series of twelve images. Every three hours you get three new themes to be interpreted. Last year, more than 100 photo enthusiasts joined in and it resulted in a social and enjoyable day. Over 1000 photos were later exhibited in Gallery KHK.
Here are the winners from last years event!(1): Lise Strandlien - "En scene fra en opera. Virkelighetens dramatiske scener er rundt oss hele tiden."

(2): Oda Solberg - "Sult"

(3):  Liam Garvey - "Kjærleikens trikkereiser"

Bikram in London

Last week, when in London to see my dad, do some work and see some friends, I also popped into a few Bikram sessions here!

A day-trip to Vestfossen Art Lab

A couple of weeks ago some friends and I went for a one-day excursion to Vestfossen Art Gallery just outside Drammen. It was a saturday and the opening of their current exhibition FRYKT (Fear). I recommend you all to go...
The place has been set up by artist Morten Viskum, and I got so impressed that I invited his right hand Mari Sundet to speak at Pecha Kucha the following thursday. 

The launch of 'Turma do Infinito'

My friend Rai Oliveira has recently launched his first childrens book. The launch was on saturday 21st of may, at the very nice bookshop Livraria da Vila da Fradique Coutinho in Sao Paulo, which we went to a few times when I was visiting a couple of months ago. His book is about the kids Filó, Sofia, Zen og Sol and is about the philosophy of life! How we're all connected and well, the importance of being kind to each other. Mark the names: Filo & Sofia = philosophy... nice huh! More info, in portuguese, on Rai's site here!

To the right is Rai's mother. She's 90 and you would never believe it. Her secret: eating Acai and being in a loving relationship :)

Cooking for the Burmese

I'm looking through pictures from the past few months. And found these ones, from the trip to Thailand. Here Vilde and I are in Mae Sot, on the boarder of Burma, cooking norwegian food to a bunch of Burmese guys - all former political prisoners - who we became friends with. Here we're in Thiha's place, who is a good friend of Vilde. They all enjoyed the Linie aquavit!


Thiha and his friend Marcus runs ExPPACT, which is a counseling & training service for ex-political Burmese prisoners.  


Oh and Vilde, she lives in Thailand on and off, speaks fluent thai which is extremely impressive, and has this blog: Vilde's Nye Meninger!

Feeling LUCKY

... for having the job I have! I'm so grateful! I get to meet so many new people, see new things, travel, learn, be inspired, be challenged, no day is alike, I love the contrasts, the freedom...  Here, I was leaving one of the many jobs I've done this week while in London, and I was like WOW, I just LOVE that I can do what I do!! Halleluja :)

A Random Coffee with 7 year old Ben

I was sitting in Surf/Skate/Snow, a coffee shop on Brick Lane, on sunday. With the aim of getting some work done. Then this little kid came and sat next to me. - I would like to sit with you, he said! His name is Ben, and his father works at a stall at the market, so he was kind of hanging around on his own. Or well, with me, for a few hours! We started drawing and he played some games on my phone. Nice :)
