Scandinavia 1979

Back in 1979, I travelled from Oslo to the west of Norway to work on a farm in a village called Grimo, tacked to the side of a steep fjord. There I picked apples, pearls, plums and strawberries in the chilly rain. The discomfort was offset by inhaling the wonderful scenery that never grew mundane. When that ended, I hopped a train to Stockholm, Sweden. I stayed in a hostel that was once a sailing ship, the af Chapman (cool). In Denmark, I took only one photo, which was a funny billboard advert. As it’s The End appropriate, I’ve included it. The razor sharp imagery was taken with a pocket instamatic camera.  And the musical accompaniment is Äppelknyckarjazz by Movits!.

Ski Austria 1979

1979. Austria - land of the kangaroos. I arrived in the town of Kitzbuehel to learn the art of skiing, immediately after the world ski championships ended. Nevertheless, I still garnered a gold medal in Ass Über Tits Gefallen. After a day sliding down the slopes, there was apres-ski unwinding mit ein Bier. Incredibly shot with a pocket instamatic camera for state-of-the-art grain and lack of focus. The musical accompaniment is Ski Austria by The Veloroo Sinfonika Swing Band Hot-Cha-Cha Orchestra.
