This is shot through the window of the old houses down by the harbour, that look so peaceful and beautiful on the outside. It says death on the door there!
Gorgeous and peaceful on the outside…

Day 366/366: “It’s the end of the world as we know it”
Well, sort of. Coming to an end of a 366 project, it is a mixed feeling. Elated, happy, proud, but also a bit lost… as in “what now”? Having spent a whole year documenting each and every day like this, it will take some time to ponder where to go next.
I was so “scared” of putting pressure and/or demands of myself and the images because I thought it would make me fail at it again if I made it into a big deal. Almost all of my first images in the first couple of months were snapshots done with the phone. It gradually changed, though, where I wanted to be challenged more… wanted to make advances…I know I have made leaps with some with my technique and some of my understanding in some areas throughout the year… and it has also made it very clear which areas I need to work more on… and there are probably many more things I should try to do better that I do not even know of (Input is welcomed!).
But all in all, to have accomplished it and gone through with it… I am pretty proud of myself to sticking with it, no matter the obstacle; like the technical difficulties at the end of the year, where my screen is gone and my one of two lenses failed me… it’s been rough going at times. Looking back at all the photos, seeing all I did and experienced… is pretty humbling in a way… you tend to forget how each and every day impacted you in it’s own way, but then you recall and remember as you are looking through the collection of images… :)
I don’t know if this will be my first and last 365 project ever… right now though, it will take some time to ponder what else I want to shoot… and first of all, have my camera fixed!
Thank you to the ones that have followed me on my journey. We’ll meet again, through other photos/projects.
May your coming year be filled with magic and dreams and good madness. I hope you read some fine books and kiss someone who thinks you’re wonderful, and don’t forget to make some art — write or draw or build or sing or live as only you can. And I hope, somewhere in the next year, you surprise yourself.

Day 365/366: Captain Morgan bokeh
Spent the evening sharing in a bottle of rum and some beers with the Husband. the kids slept over at my parents, and as we have our anniversary on New Years Eve, and that is a family celebration with us, we took the opportunity the evening before instead.
(These last pics of my 365 was shot with “broken” equipment. My Nikon D90 and one of it’s two lenses started to go haywire… my favorite lens stopped being able to do auto focus, and the screen on my camera went kaput. So, it was very much like shooting with a film camera these last months of my 366… since I could not see my photos as I shot them, and make the adjustment needed. Neither could I access most of the features in my menu… only the one you can operate from the buttons on the camera body, so needless to say, it was a challenge, and limited the kind of shots I could take. Hopefully I will be able to save up enough money when this is all over, to get it fixed).

Lots of the days between Christmas and New Years are spent hanging with family… I was at work as well (none of the others were!), but in the afternoon and evenings we went to see each other and have dinner and played some board games and such. Relaxed. Here, in my parents kitchen, my brother and my dad playing Monopoly with Emma and her dad.

Testing out the new skis - little did we know that this was about it for snow this winter… January, February and March has been super cold but very dry!

Here in Norway, all presents and festivities are happening on Christmas Eve, and not Christmas morning. We spend all day in anticipation, then have a big family dinner, then finally in the evening, it is time to go nuts over the gifts. Here represented by Sara.

Day 358/366: Decorating the tree
Spent most of the day tidying up and make the apartment cozy for Christmas. Among other, the girls and I decorated the Christmas tree. I love seeing their pure glee when “re-discovering” all the ornaments that have been around since they were babies…

I spent a lot of the day cleaning up a bookshelf filled with the girls’ books. I took out all the ones they have no interest in reading any longer as they are meant for younger kids. Saving some of them for others to read when visiting, and who knows, maybe future Grandkids! the intention was to free up space in the room so I could fit a closet for my clothes. I managed to shrink two massively filled huge bookshelves down to one.. and in the process I made a shelf for me, with some of my favorite readings on . These are some of the books on that shelf, all ones that have made an everlasting impression on me (except the one all the way to the right).

Day 356/366: Winter scenery at Gamlehaugen Royal residence
Again, I revisited a place I have shot before in this 366 project, Gamlehaugen, the Royal residence in Bergen. Now, the sea was frozen solid, and there was frost covering every surface. It was such a cold afternoon! But beautiful none the less.

Visiting the gingerbread house city has become an yearly tradition for the girls and I, so we had to venture there yet again. they have moved location to a better suited place for it, which was nice. I was as always impressed by the vast amount of creativity people show when it comes to what house/building they have made! Oil rigs, boats, houses, churches, concert arenas, Mumin houses, the funicular… you name it, it is all here.
