I`m a small happy amateur...
Small because I respect those big guys who really knows...
Happy because I have a camera...
Amateur because I still have a lot to learne...

    "I just want to let you know that you have stumbled upon a great photostream!!

    Øystein is one of the most genuine, lovable, humble, great, awesome photographer I have ever met!! He is a true inspiration in life, he make me expect more of my self when I go out and shoot.

    I have never been a fan of nature photos, but after following olystad, I have really found the big love for nature, for the Norwegian country side and the mellow mood and calmness in his picture.

    If you need inspiration: TAKE A CLOSER LOOK AT HIS PIX!!
    If you need comfort: TAKE A CLOSER LOOK AT HIS PIX!!
    If you need an escape: TAKE A CLOSER LOOK AT HIS PIX!!
    If you just wanna be: TAKE A CLOSER LOOK AT HIS PIX!!

    Dear Øystein. I am really blessed to have you as a friend, and I can't wait for more pix to come!!
    KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK!!

    "In the world, I am nothing but an individual.
    In photography, I am nothing but an amateur.
    But I love the world, and photography. I feel really blessed to be able to combine the two, and feel whole."

    Best wishes
    Sigrid aka Siggito"
