What am I doing now?
This is a /now page and it is inspired by Derek Sivers. It is one of the things I do to try to make the web personal again. Here are a few things I'm up to right now:
Recent updates:

- I'm traveling to Japan on the 25th of October.
September 2026
- I’m working an upcoming trip to Japan. In March I got funding from Chunichi-Inadomi-fondet for norsk-japansk kulturutveksling (The Chunichi-Inadomi Fund for Norwegian-Japanese Cultural Exchange). The trip is in late October and I will spend 11-12 days in Tokyo, meeting other street photographers and networking.
- My street photography collective, Oslo SPC, is in the midst of curating and printing our joint exhibition at Oslo Negative in the start of October.

Older updates
December 2025
- Travelled to Bangkok (Thailand), Saigon (Vietnam), Hanoi (Vietnam) and Taipei (Taiwan) for Christmas and NYE.
November 2025:
- Oslo Street Photography Festival: I'm working on the festival I've started with a few of my street photography friends, and my street photography collective: Oslo SPC. Have a look: ospf.no
October 2025:
- I've been making a zine that I plan to sell under Oslo Negativ. It is called «Oslo Fascinus Vulgaris», and it is a collection of photos of rude graffiti from Oslo, Norway. Some of the images may be seen here: The Cocks of Oslo (internal link).
September 2025:
- Preparing for the photo festival «Oslo Negativ». My street photography collective, Oslo SPC, is having an exhibition at the festival. I've been working on collecting images from our members and getting them printed.
- I've been making a small zine called «None of them knew they were robots». It is a zine with random images with no relation to each other. The zine title is the Mr. Bungle song with the same name. My idea was to try to see if people tell me they get what the zine is about, even if it is just made by random.
Work
- Communications adviser at Statens pensjonskasse (The Norwegian Public Service Pension Fund).
- My job is to communicate complicated pension regulations as simply as possible. The goal is for our members to understand their rights and obligations so that they can make good pension choices.
Personal projects
- I do street and documentary photography. My current active projects are examining Oslo's car culture and norwegian's drinking culture
- I've started and manage Oslo SPC, a photo collective with around 70+ members. This year (2024) we arranged the first street photo festival in Oslo. Around 200 people showed up.
Where am I
- I live in Vålerenga in Oslo, Norway, with my girlfriend of 20+ years. We have no kids.
Passions
- I'm a big film and TV-series buff and enjoyer. Back in the early 00s I used to run a film magazine, and worked as a film critic.
