About


IMG_0204

Most of my working life I have been doing software development for companies in Norway, where I live.

I have however been combining photography and travel for a number of years. It started with my first trip to Asia. I went to Nepal with my first camera (a Pentax Program A). After having completed the Annapurna circuit in Nepal I was hooked. Both on Asia and on travel. I have since managed to do some long distance travel each year.

On my first trips it was really the excitement of travel that was the driving force. However, in later years photography is the main objective. A few of years ago, I took 2-3 years off just to travel and to photograph.

Most of my trips have gone to Asia, but I have also made some trips to Africa. I keep coming back to both India and China. Areas with Tibetan culture and the Himalayas really fascinates me.
