Hello all!

I am a 44 year (45 on June 29...) old man (read: boy...) from Norway. I am married to Tone and together we have two beautiful boys; Karsten Johan (5 years, named after my father) and Erik (2 years, named after Erik The Viking...Well, not really...). We live on an island, Askøy, just outside the city of Bergen.

I work as lawyer for the Hordaland Police dept. It's a great place to work.

My passion, besides my family (of course!) are photography and Australia! I've had photography as a dear hobby for several years and shoot digital and film. I have several cameras, but most of the time I tend to use the Nikon D80, Hasselblad 503cx and Mamiya RB67 ProS.

Australia....What can I say? It's my Paradise on Earth! It's the place where I want to live when I retire at the age of 67. I have Australian family living in Melbourne and thanx to the Internet it is easy to stay in touch. We visited them in Feb 2005 and are planing another trip this December. Maybe for 8 weeks... I really look forward to that! I've heard so much about Australia and our Family down under since I was little, so when we went there in 2005 I had a strange feeling that I had come home. That Australia is my country, too. Strange, but there you have it! I love the country and the people living there. As Billy Connolly says in his book; 'World tour of Australia', "There are many 'Australian ' virtues but for me, their greatest quality is optimism. The hole country has a youthful vitality which makes it an immensely exciting place."

For those of you thinking about going on a holiday to Australia, I recommend getting a copy of the book by Billy Connolly, and/or the dvd and cd (have had in my car for 18 months...I kid you not!)
As you can understand, Australia gets my heart beating!

I have several website, some of them under construction. Please check out

All the best,
