I've thought it's been fun to share photographs and I've seen visitors from all over the world.

I'll have to think about it...

More Analog In 2026

My name is LYKKE and my tooth are gone

I love black and white photography. I wish I had the Leica MP…

Being in love with analogue photography is about a deep love for the tangible, the authentic and the time-consuming in the photographic process. In a world where digital dominates and everything moves quickly, analogue photography offers a kind of calm and patience that many appreciate. Working with film, manually adjusting the camera, and the developing process itself gives a closeness to the image that often feels more personal and real.

Falling in love with analogue photography can also be about an aesthetic – the unique grainy expression, the colors and the contrasts which are often difficult to reproduce digitally. Each exposure becomes like a small work of art, where you cannot see the result immediately, which creates an expectation and tension that enhances the experience.

For many, analogue photography becomes a form of meditation and experimentation, where mastering the technique is an important part of the joy. There is a love for the whole process, from choosing a roll of film, setting camera settings, to waiting for the images to be developed and discovered. This slow, hand-crafted approach provides a deeper connection to photography – an infatuation with the very art of capturing the moment in a unique and timeless way.

- “Det er han som er Jesus”

Fotohistorien «Det er han som er Jesus»

Fotografier som forteller en historie blir gjerne husket best. Dette bilde av mitt barnebarn, Lykke, blei tatt i ei kirke i Bergen i april 2021. Det var under dåpen til mitt minste barnebarn at dette skjedde. Det var seks barn som skulle døpes den dagen, så det var godt med folk tilstede i kirka. Når det tar litt tid blir som regel de unge litt urolige og det blei etterhvert Lykke også. Tore såg dette og vinket Lykke bort til seg på benken. Han sa - Om du setter deg med meg og sitter rolig skal eg fortelle deg en hemmelighet som ingen andre vet om. Lykke satte seg ikkje ned - urolig som ho var, men roet seg og gikk inntil Tore for å få høre hemmeligheten ingen andre visste om. Tore kviskret i øre til Lykke - Det er eg som er Jesus! Lykke sperret augene opp og ropte høgt ut samtidig som ho peikte på Tore, - DET ER HAN SOM ER JESUS! Det gikk vel ikkje helt som planlagt for Tore, med latteren i kirka var befriende og bilde fikk sin historie.
