Our guest this week thoroughly enjoyed the words of wisdom that Borut shared with us on our last show (as did many others), not worrying when it doesn’t go to plan, if the shots don’t work out. Own the emotion, learn and move on. Incorporate it into your art; make it a part of the “ritual” of creativity. It was against this background the host of Viewfinder Vikings Podcast, commercial and fine art photographer Svein Olav Humberset joined us to talk mainly about photographic projects, why bother, the challenges, the opportunities and well, you get the idea.
Simon is off to photograph his garden from the same spot, every Month for 10 years...

Things we chatted about on the show:
 
The "Knowledgeable Simon Forster" was asked to write the foreword to a digitised book of the travel photos of Kurt Hielscher “Unknown Spain” – take a look here:

Of course we couldn’t get through this particular show without referencing show #27 with Borut Peterlin in particular the moving video he had just posted in memory of Mike his dog.
Grab some tissues and watch.

Simon gave a shout out to former guest on the show Kate Miller-Wilson. Kate has moved on from electrocuting herself in the quest for inner realisation and is now making some lovely wet plate images and sharing her journey in IG.

Other News
The inaugural LFPP Gathering in the forest 2020 has been cancelled.  Lets see how COVID pans out over the summer but my guess this will now be moved to Spring 2021.
 
And….
 
Much to Simon’s dismay the Six Towns Darkroom is in lock down for the time being.
 
Also Simon is selling radio-active hard to find lens caps to amuse you in these dark days.
