Alice in Wonderland

The photo series with Natalia Vodianova as Alice in Wonderland by Annie Leibovitz for Vogue is quite impressive. The creations, the setting and the fact that Vogue has managed to get the designers to pose as characters from the book is all a power parade from American Vogue. American Vogue can feel a bit too Upper East Side Granny at times for my taste, but at least they have the money to do impressive fashion series. Alice in Wonderland is a book that really should be read once again as an adult, because it is surreal and it question the way we perceive our surroundings. Lewis Caroll was also an interesting character, and a great photographer as well.

Pinhole Camera Photo of Times Square

My diploma project at Architecture School was about experiencing the phenomenon of light. I picked Times Square as my site, not because I love the place, but because it is one of the most lit and distracting places in the world. I made a massive black hole underneath Times Square, that was a gigantic pinhole camera. I like pinhole camera photos because it reminds me that photography really is writing with light, and camera obscura is an amazing phenomenon.

Shop window in Oslo

I passed a store window one night in Oslo and I saw that my first name which I have been mocked for my whole life was now a high fashion brand or at least in the same store as designers like Phillip Lim. It is now the screen saver on my mobile, and a constant reminder that I am who I am and no one will tell me what I should or shouldn't like. I was once a bit embarrassed by my eccentric granny, but now I am proud to be named after her.
