I am 38 years old, living in the south of Norway with my two sons aged 5 and 8 and their dad. I work at a communication agency, in the interaction design department. My task is to code XHTML and CSS and to implement/deploy design into different kinds of CMS. I take great pride in writing valid and semantic markup, and consider myself as another follower of the "Code is Poetry"-slogan.

But poetry is everywhere, isn't it? I have a long way to go until I manage to capture with my camera what my mind sees in a way that is accessible to others, but I keep trying - at least I am thoroughly enjoying the process. I've also managed to get my partner bitten by the bug - he recently splurged out on a Nikon D40, and I look forward to having him photowalking along with me!

Gear:
I currently have two SLR cameras, one film and one digital:
Nikon f801s
Nikon D70s

Some of my earlier photos are taken using a FujiFilm Finepix s304

I also have:

On my wishlist:
