Gooo Trondheim!

Hi,
It's things like this that makes me love Trodheim even more than I already do.
Every day from December 1-24, different designers has come together to make a christmas calendar. Everyday a new picture is projected on a huge wall in the citycenter.

 

If you, like me, are not in Trondheim, you can see all the pictures here: www.varsko.org

I just love when people do stuff like this! :)

YAY!

Sunday

This is a series I made in October. I've showed some of the pics before, but I wanted to make a issuu-thing to show you.

I'm working on my portfolio, so if you see something you like, I'd love to know about it. It would help me a lot! :)

Thanks

Please do feed the models

This is my lastest series, my sister Helle, is the model! :)
Thanks!

something totally different

Hi guys,
I've been making these for a few months, given them away as presents and stuff. But desided it was time to try to sell them. Don't have a lot of them yet, but I'll make more and see how it goes. It's just for fun, I sometimes need to do something totally different from photography, and this is one of the things I do.

So if you want one, just get it from my new etzy store... :)

Christmas shopping

Hi guys,
wanted to share this amazing site I came across, www.etzy.com. It's the perfect place to find amazing, special christmas presents. Everything there is made by the users, it's their own design and a lot of it handmade. You can even get stuff special made in some of the stores. This is some of my favourites:

cbtscloset

James Anthony

Spider Camp

Critter Jitters

and there is sooo many more!

If you're thinking of getting christmas presents from there, I wouldn't wait.

Las Vegas

Had 6 crazy days in Las Vegas!


Stayed at "Flamingo", and it was realy good. Great location on the strip, big rooms and it was clean and nice.

Shopping:
Great shopping in Las Vegas! We went to Las Vegas Outlet Center and they had a lot of cheap clothing and shoes. It's about 5 mins taxi ride, south on the strip. To far to walk, but around 17dollars with a taxi (from the flamingo).

Other than that I went to Las Vegas Premium Outlets. It has a lot of the same stuff and stores as the other one, but is outside of the strip. I got a ride in a car, so I'm not shure how to get there. This one is an outdoor center, so it gets cold if the weathers not good.

On the strip there's heaps of shopping as well. But I found it a bit hard to find the stores. There is shopping in most big hotels, and there is a few shopping centers on the strip. The best ones were Miracle Mile, Fashion Show and Palazzo. There is a lot more, and I didn't go to them all. But you can spend a lot of money there if you want to!





We got to see most of the things we wanted to, the Venetian was nice, Rio a lot of fun, and the rollercoaster around "New York New York" WAS GREAT! We went to to shows, "Puscifer" and "Penn and Teller". "Puscifer" was soo weird, but good entertainment. "Penn and Teller" was FANTASTIC! They are so funny, and the magic impressive! If you're going to Vegas, I'd go and see them!



I had such a great time, it was amazing! :)

Wedding in Vegas

28October2009
Lelia and Andrew got married in Vegas.
It was the reason for the trip, and it was a great day.

It was the coldest day in October in 5 years or something like that. It was freezing winds, and it looked like it would rain.




We got picked up in limos and there was a one hour ride to "Valley of Fire" where they had the ceremony. Lelia was freezing cold, and we had blankets around us. The ceremony took about 30 mins, and was very Vegas. It was mostly for the camera, the camera was really big and right in front of the couple. But other than that it was very nice.




Got back in the limos after the ceremoni, and drowe back to Vegas in the sunset. It was very pretty.

The dinner was in a privat room in the Stratosphere tower. We had an amazing view of the strip, great food and drinks.





Thanks again for inviting us, and best of luck and wishes to the newly weds.

USA trip 2009 - part 2 - road trip

After three days in LA, it was time to rent a car, and drive to Vegas. We got to rent a convertible mustang, and it wasn't to bad a price. It did cost a bit extra for one way rental, but divided by the four of us, it was a really good price.

We drove of in the morning, around 10. Did a small stop close to the Hollywood sign, to take some pictures, but pretty soon we were on our way.

We got great instuctions from the guy at our hotel, so getting out of the city was easy. The road to Vegas is mostly on a freeway going throug desert. We did get off it a few times and had some stops here and there.








First one was in Barstow, where we just had to go in to a "99cent store", just to have been there. We also had a small stop at a MCDonals, at "Peggy Sues diner" and we had a small photoshoot in a parkinglot in the middle of nowhere.







The weirdes and scaryest part of the trip was when we turned of the freeway to look for a gost-town Espen had read about. We went on a tiny road for at least 30 minutes stright out in to the desert. When we finaly got there it was getting dark, and what we found was this house next to a railroad track. It was so quiet there, and so incredible creepy!! I felt like I was in a horrormovie, and I ended up just sitting in the car. It was insane! The house was filled with clothes and someones stuff, newspapers and coffecups. Super creepy!!

After that is was about a 45 minute drive to Vegas. Came in at night, and it was
amazing!

So if you're thinking about driveing from LA to Vegas, I'd so recommend it.

USA trip 2009 day 1

Hi,
I'M in Los Angeles! YAY! or more correct is Hollywood. I'm here with my boyfriend and two friends. The trip here took about 15 hours, so not too bad. Came here around 5 o'clock in the afternoon, and took a taxi from the airport. We came during rush hour, so the ride from the airport to Hollywood took about an hour. It was okey, we got to see alot, and had a nice taxi-driver that told us lots of useful infomation.


We are staying at "Celebrity Hollywood Hotel", and the location as unbelieveble!
Vis større kartIt's located right behind "Kodak Theatre" and Hollywood bl. It's perfect! and the stadard is heaps better than I ever expected. The beds are HUGE! We have two in our room, but we're only using one... :)

Walked around here last night, got to see the walk of fame and had a look around. had some pizza at Miceli. Very cosy and nice place.

After dinner, we needed to do something, so we went to "Ripley's believe it or not". Not really worth the money, but an okey way to kill some time. We were all tired from the flight, and went to bed early.

I woke up really early, so I was out side walking around at 7am. It was realy nice! Almost no people, and the sun was just on it's way up. I had some coffee and a bagle at "coffeebean and tealeaf" and just walked around waiting for the boys to wake up.




The rest of the day was spent at "Universal Studios". We took almost all the rides, and had a good time. The whole thing was very american, kind of fake and they used the same tricks on every ride. I was a bit disapointed with the rides, but I'm a big fan of rollercoasters and not so much getting scared with flames and loud noises. But we had a good time, and now I'm in my room with sore feet taking a small break.

Now we're going to see if can find some good food just outside the hotel.
