I shot 1168 images in three hours of people fighting with longswords today. Going back tomorrow. Need to slow down. It was fun! Shot with manual focus lenses. It was hard, but I got the handle of it pretty quick.

Two fighters in full HEMA protective gear clash with longswords in a sports hall, their blades meeting above their heads. Several spectators in armour watch from the background. ALT text: Two HEMA practitioners wearing padded jackets and arm protection bump fists after a bout, while others in the hall talk and rest in the background. Two armoured HEMA fencers stand ready with longswords while two people in the foreground talk. The two fencers look toward the camera, one wearing a fencing mask. A woman in full HEMA gear stands with hands on hips next to a woman seated on her knees, while two medical assistance sit at a table behind them in a wooden-panelled sports hall.

A person in a wetsuit balances on a hydrofoil board near the MUNCH museum in Oslo, with another person standing on a dock in the foreground. The large, tilted grey museum building dominates the scene under a cloudy sky. Two people in wetsuits are standing on floating docks in a harbour under construction, surrounded by cranes and new apartment buildings. In the background, autumn trees and Akershus Fortress can be seen on the hill under a grey sky.

Nicolas Levy explains why he doesn’t shoot in hiding—he’s there with the person, sharing the moment, building the photograph together.

Part of my ongoing project «Photographers of Oslo». The full video with Nicolas Levy will be out soon on YouTube!

Last sunday here in Oslo, Tamima Nibras Juhar was murdered by a far right activist. Today people gathered to remember her and take a stance against racism and violence, and the far right.

Walked outside of Stortinget where Vebjørn Bjelland Berg was being thrown out by the police. He is on a hunger strike to get the norwegian government to start phasing out oil and gas. This is day 21 on hunger strike.

During the Oslo Pride Parade yesterday, a small gaggle of religious people had set up a «counter protest». They shouted their special brand of religious love at the parade and the onlookers, only to be drowned out by the sound of the parade and people cheering it

This weekend we had our second Oslo Street Photo Festival. As one of the organisers, I had no time to take pictures. Still, I managed to grab these four shots inbetween the talks. Nothing special compositonally, but four good memories for me in photographic form that I will appreciate for years!
