OSLO - marianne, bogstadveien & ingrid, karl johans gate, 01/17/11




Yesterday, just a couple of minutes after taking these pictures, I got my bag with my computer, my spare camera, my back-ups, my passport, etc... stolen in the lobby of my hotel. In one minute, I basically lost years of photo archives. Brutal. I'm also very frustrated no to be able to show you on my visual diary my images from Switzerland, Milan, Skopje, Beijing and Rio de Janeiro I was about to post now. They are gone forever (except a very few). But you can still imagine these places. I'm working at the moment on getting a new passport to make it to Sundance Film Festival. "Fall seven times. Stand up eight."

Omg ! That is terrible.. I'm so sorry for you ! Let's hope it'll get better. Cause remember, it always does get better. Anyways, I'm in love with the picture you've taken, they are truely amazing. These girls must be so cold... even if I'm actually frizzing in Paris lately. Temperatures go down so easily. I can't wait for spring and then summer !

I always followed your posts only through Google Reader, and only looked at the photos (I never read your comments are readers responses). This is the very first time I came to the blog itself, and I read about your unfortunate incident. I'm really sorry and I hope they can get the bastard and you can get your things back.

I love Oslo, but God, people can be so horrible. That is just incredibly sad, to lose everything. Hope you get it back somehow.

I am so sorry to hear that. It's the WORST feeling ever. I have definitely been in your position, although not as dramatically, with the robbery etc. These pictures are amazing, especially the girl with the red lipstick...

PS
Your photos are a total inspiration to me check out my street style blog at www.tresawesome.com

I can't believe that you got your items stolen. I hope that karma comes back to bite the person who stole your stuff.

It looks really cold with the snow in the background. I think I would be wearing more than just leggings.

I celebrated my 1st year blogging yesterday and am having a GIVEAWAY. Drop by and take a look at what's on offer at www.missbias.blogspot.com.

Believe me guys, it's not that freezing in Oslo. I spent some time in there two weeks ago and wore less than those girls. And didn't feel too cold at all. On the second hand, I'm from Finland so that might have something to do with this :)
