my studio debut

The outdoor family photoshoot with the Byman Skaugs had to be altered due to heavy rainfall. Luckily we had the option of using Rakkestad Fotoklubbs photo studio. This led to my photo studio debut, and thanks to a dear photo colleague, the result turned out great. It of course helps to have a very photogenic family in front of the camera;) Here is a sample.

the cave

... the location is my own personal cave - my basement - and the

model is my dazzling cousin Sara, in case you were wondering...

“The cave you fear to enter holds the treasure you seek.”

dreamcatcher

Dreamcatcher, dreamcatcher
catch me a dream,

send it from the stars down on a moonbeam,

weave it like gold gossamer.

Fill it with images, heavenly, bright,

to keep me contented all through the night,

Let it be a heartwarmer.

little king

I love to photograph animals, and dogs in particular.  This is my soon to be mother in laws loyal cavalier through many years - Trico - a Cavalier King Charles. Looking majestic in black and white.

I have recycled an old photograph of the statue of liberty - dedicating this post to the old lady standing alone in the middle of the hurricane.

best friends

 Things are never quite as scary when you have a best friend.

the road

There are only two mistakes one can make

along the road to truth;

not going all the way, and not starting.
