The small Village, the medieval city does not belong to the alps, but it has its very own distinct character and style.

Airport-3 - Once more..........



Some personal reflections:
upon photography (in writing) is included: under photography you will find an english version, the same is there in Norwegian .   

Books contains a list of more or less important items on the debate on art and photographic theory, mostly some years old.
