Oslo I
We got picked up by two guys driving with a kid in a van. They didn't say anything to us the whole ride. We assumed they're Polish and maybe they didn't speak any English because they answered in a language we didn't understand to our questions. But Richard being an expert in riding with non English speakers interpreted few things.
I remember the pull to Norway and after watching couple of Joachim Trier's movies, I had to see Oslo. I think anticipation is the best part of everything. Yet arriving to Oslo felt strange. I made it there! This is it?? What was that all about?? What's gonna happen??
We stayed one night at Nasim's Place. An Afghan guy who likes Murakami and drinking. Makes sense :)
I didn't get close enough to see what was happening but I had an idea what was that all about.
All museums are closed on Monday and after some googling I realized that the biggest ones were free on Sunday. I had no choice but to come back later on Sunday.
Richard is a skaterboy and a photographer. So, he gave me few tips and taught me some tricks' names. But of course the photos I took are examples of how not to take skating photos. Then, I had this idea. Learn how to take skating photos then take them contemporary style. The thing is, I have a thing for skateboarders ever since I can remember. They were the symbol of cool. And the sounds skateboards make against the concrete give me goosebumps. It's one of my favorite sounds.
The squad we found didn't agree to host us for the night, so we had to camp. Of course Richard knew where!
