It’s been a busy week with listening to photographer Arno Minkkinen on monday, a concert in the opera to celebrate my mum’s birthday on wednesday, the camera club christmas party on friday, book signing by Øyvind Hjelmen [...]

Norwegian Photographic Society

The “Vika Boy” got a silver award
This is from Vika in Oslo, where some scenes from the film Max Manus was filmed. The story is from the war years 1940-45. I think the background with the truck and bicycles adds to the war time mood. A smoke machine had been used, which made the background more diffused. I added a sepia [...]
