2025 – a year of huge projects

2025 is here, we’re well into it already. And I already know that this is going to be a year of huge projects for us. But first, let’s step back and do a quick look at 2024.
I got back outside
A year ago my wife started a crowd funding campaign for me to be able to get an ExoQuad (an all terrain 4×4 wheelchair). Since picking it up in May I have hiked several mountains, had epic mountain top views…

This blog is not dead

This blog is not dead. There – I just had to get it out right up front. I have however had a long hiatus from posting.
Everything is the same, but everything is changed
This year has been about starting over for me. About reflecting on what works, trying new things and finding a new path ahead. Some may say this year resembles a kind of midlife crisis. And I guess it is in some ways. I have needed to figure…

Oslo moments – When I walk pt. 13

A few weeks ago I went to Oslo to attend a book launch. I had contributed with images to illustrate a book by Save The Children Norway about kids with disabilities, and were invited to take part in the launch.

I never travel anywhere without a camera. Just in case I get the chance to shoot something. And Oslo is one of my favorite places to bring the camera for candid urban and street photography. Even if all I have…
