Scandinavian Solstices

By sheer coincidence I managed to experience both of 2009′s solstices in Norway.

Midday sun over Oslofjord

Midnight sun from a ferry in the Lofoten Islands:

Homage to Caspar David Friedrich:

Haven’t posted anything lately as I’ve been very busy with a new project that will be launched sometime next week  (stay tuned…)

In the meantime, I thought I’d post some images from earlier this week at my girlfriend’s house (in Norway).

Rock Canyon overlook

Drove up behind Squaw Peak this evening to see the fall colors, but ended up responding to something else.  Mainly, I realized how much I miss the mountains above Utah Valley.

Of course, there was some color, too.

Rainy day

Happened to be downtown last night during SLC’s torrential downpour.  Oh, and Marie was wearing her Hunter boots.  And yes, I had the Linhof in the back of the Subaru…as always.

Type 55 & 59:

Quickie test shoot

Needed some gritty/muddy running shots for a quick add to my portfolio, so I called up my friend Courtney, a former Cytomax™ athlete who apparently specializes in modeling from the knees down :) .  Although we’d just done a climb/run up Mt. Superior the morning before, Courtney always seems to be up for more pain and suffering – which is probably the best way to sum up splashing through the same creek 100 times in a row.  Mother nature threatened us with a blank blue sky for most of the morning, and being August there was no real mud to speak of, but I think we squeaked by with a few workable options.  Thanks Courtney!
