Places / cities: Volda, Ørsta, Oslo
This was one of the most special road trips I have experienced. I had agreed with a friend in Ørsta to have a photoshoot with her on Sunnmøre, and at the same time agreed with a Norwegian national film celebrity to meet the person in Oslo.
I drove to Ørsta and had my first photoshoot with a scantily clad lady before I set my sights on Oslo. On the road - most likely after Geiranger - I experienced clear skies before I drove into a tunnel, but when I came out at the opposite end, it was thickly covered, I could not see more than 5 meters in front of me!
When I arrived in Oslo I had problems with the brake discs, so the car had to go to a workshop. I had planned to spend the night in a car and didn't have the money to spend the night in a hotel. Then the choice was easy; I found a bench at a train station and spent the night there until the next day.
After a night on the bench, I took the light rail to X and met Camilla Wolf Bodin, an unsung heroine in Norwegian film production. It was GREAT to meet this beautiful, knowledgeable and inspiring film producer. This is a cafe visit I won't soon forget.
