From today on I will be travelling to Norway's second annual Nordic Light Fotofestival in Kristiansund to mainly represent and introduce fotocommunity.com to the festival visitors and of course to see old friends and maybe make some new ones.

Travelling with me will be Grit Siwonia, our Youth channel manager and marketing director Uli Hülswitt will be up there for a long weekend, too. In Kristiansund we will enjoy Martin Unger's hospitality by staying at his house. Thanks for having us Martin!
Martin is envolved in the festival as well as our Nature channel manager Tor-Henrik (Totto) Furmyr.

In a few hours I will board the ferry from Kiel to Oslo where I'll arrive tomorrow in the morning. Next time I will be able to give you a short report on Friday with my first festival impressions and hopefully a few nice shots for all of you to see.

Take care everybody. Cheers!

After entering the ferry from Kiel to Oslo and after driving 600 kilometeres through beautiful Norway, passing by well known olympic Lillehammer, we finally arrived in Kristiansund on Thursday night last week.

After a good and well needed sleep at Martin's house, we set up our fotocommunity exhibition display, our computers and everything needed to introduce fotocommunity to the festival visitors all day Friday and then went to the opening ceremony on Friday night.

Morten Krogvold, the artistic director of the Nordic Light festival welcomed all visitors and gave a short introduction of the artists and exhibitors for the coming up week. Morten is a very well known photographer himself and it was inspiring to see his eyes literally start to glow when he described what the visitors would have to expect from these artists and lecturers in his very own enthusiastic way.

Of course there won't be any time for us to attend any of these events going on since we will be busy showing and explaining the fotocommunity and fotocommunity spirit to the visitors of our little 'internet cafe' at the Kristiansund Opera House, the main building of the festival.
