Since 1945, photography has gradually become an integral part of virtually everything we do. Photographs have become so ubiquitous and self-evident that we hardly notice them anymore, nor do we notice the extent to which they shape our lives. They have become invisibly present.

The book is finally sent to print, and we could not be prouder (or more exhausted)! 🤩🥵🫠 @thalesorlie.bsky.social @haraldol.bsky.social

«Usynlig til stede» deals with photography and society in Norway after 1945 and highlights several new perspectives on how photography has changed Norway. 📸

Kvikk Lunsj on the BBC! I like how this article traces changing ideas of nature and recreation through what people ate outside: www.bbc.co.uk/travel/artic...

The controversial sweet that fuels Norwegians

Known as 'the trip chocolate', Kvikk Lunsj has fuelled outdoor adventures for generations. So, what makes this chocolate so controversial?
