Drag to set position!
Hi there,
I'm an self-taught photographer from Norway. I started out here on Flickr with a 365 self-portrait project. That project taught me a lot about how to handle my DSLR, but I still consider myself an apprentice in the world of photo. I am trying to get inspired, and improve as often as I can. My main interests lies within nature and portrait shots. I like to think that my style is energetic, life-embracing with a tad of that DIY punk aesthetics. I love music, and my style is influenced a lot by music and rock magazine pictures. I want my pictures to motivate my viewers to go out there and live life "their way", think for themselves and push the box a little.
PS: If I added you as a contact, it means you inspire me! Take it as a compliment, and don't feel obligated to add me back!

Your project 365 is really inspiring, before embarking on the project i went through some groups to seek inspiration and found your work. The pictures that you have clicked have soul in them, it's like they are breathing life, it never looks like you are trying too hard or trying impress people with your skills, very honest and truthful, they are really simple and that simplicity that you have managed to maintain throughout is just incredible. :) Keep doing what you do the best!

Ok, enough of the luls, time to get seeeeerious. I know your name is Jorn, but I always say Lonyl. Though I have no idea how to actually say that. I say it like... Loin-al. I also don't know what it means. Yeah, language ain't my strong point... Anyways, Lonyl is definitely one of my most inspirational contacts in the way that he lives. Does that sound weird? I mean...he inspires the way I think by his actions, his words, and his photos. It's great to see someone so passionate about the world, and that translates through the internetty wires and networks into my brain, and I learn from him. Everything he does is acheived with such passion, and I know if we were ever to bump into eachother I would never bore of hearing his philosophies and luls. :)

He's definitely one of the coolest boy I know. His passions for music and photography always amaze me. Mix them with his philosophy and writing skill and it's a dynamite ready to explode in your mind. Yes, not only he pleases the watchers' eyes, but also their minds. I still believe he has to write that book about Norway's landscapes and urban scenery. In all seriousness. You gotta love Lonyl. He rocks! :)
