some photos i had taken on my trip to the philippines were featured in a series on bakitwhy.com about Balikbayan (loosely meaning, “those returning to the Philippines”).
I’m not great with words, but I did take some photos when I got the chance to go to the PI for the first time at the end of 2008. It was truly a life-changing experience; I had no idea how much I had, and I had no way to appreciate how much my parents gave me until I saw where they came from.
Friday November 27th over 1,2 million Norwegians watched parts of “Bergensbanen” on NRK2. The longest documentary ever? At least the longest we have made, almost 7 1/2 hours, showing every minute of the scenic train ride between Bergen on the Norwegian west coast, crossing the mountains to the capital of Oslo.

Now we want to give the material to our viewers, the whole thing, for download.

lunch at sonya’s garden. everything served is organically grown onsite.
earlier this year i visited the east side gallery in berlin. a fair number of murals had already been removed, and more were sandblasted from the walls as i was there. by now there are new murals in their place, many by the original east side gallery artists, in time for today.
happy 20th anniversary. it is wonderful to be reminded of the possibilities of a revolution for the people.
