“Your first 10,000 photographs are your worst"
Henri Cartier-Bresson
Main interest is Photo and Video, mostly from my travels in my home country Norway and Europe.
- Presently I am using a mirrorless systemcamera from Panasonic, Lumix GX7 with a Lumix pancake lens 20mm (f.1,7) and alternates with an Olympus lens: 14-150mm (or in 35mm= 28-300mm)
(so far very satisfied with this gear).
The last years I also use more and more my iphone6+ as the quality of photos have been improved, especially for use on Internet. - My first camera, a long time ago, was a Kodak Instamatic.
- Living in Norway in a little village 30 min outside of Oslo.
- Quality time to be spent in the mountains, Valdres, where we have a mountain house, or in our apartment in South of France.
- Participated in many interesting photo workshops i.e. in:Poland, Netherland,Switzerland, Luxembourg, Romania, France, Portugal and Italy.
- Some photos from these meetings at flickr>>
- At my mountain cottage I have had visiting photo friends from:
- Netherland, France, Belgium, Russia and US.

- When a new blogpost is published I link the photos to Flickr and/or Google photos and also link it to my twitter account under the name: TrekEarth by JRJ (link below).
- Flickr is today my main photosite. Presently I have had more than 2 million hits at my photos and also many responses, even some sales of photos presented at Flickr.
- Photofolia is, pr. today, a smaller photosite where I participate from time to time. It is a friendly and nice group of members (several coming from trekearth) at this photosite.
- A periode I was quite active at trekearth and to some degree Photopedia (now closed) - but prefer today this blog as my main channel to present my work.
