A few weeks ago I posted an entry on a few attempts at doing street photography. Today we had lovely weather in Oslo, and I walked around playing around with my camera. Close to the Norwegian castle there were a farmers market where they were showing off Norwegian special products. Some of the salespeople were a bit more flamboyant than others.<\/p>\n

\"This<\/a>

This pink\/lilac lady was selling goods at a farmers market in Oslo.<\/p><\/div>\n

Her lilac clothes lit up her white stall. I took two other pictures of her as well, but they where not as sharp as this one. Her bright colours were interesting enough to include her in this blog though.<\/p>\n

There were a lot of interesting people visiting or displaying their wares. This man sold meat, but when I saw him I thought he would be selling fish.<\/p>\n

\"He<\/a>

He made me think of a sailor and not a farmer, but looks can lie.<\/p><\/div>\n

Street performers are always an interesting motive. This golden statue had just taken a brake, and was counting his earnings. I liked the way the ashes of his cigarette was getting very long, and how his golden costume was getting very old. The zipper on his jacket was broken and he used safety pins to keep it closed.<\/p>\n

\"He<\/a>

He was making his living as a live statue. But even a statue needs a pause sometimes.<\/p><\/div>\n

His scruffy looks made for a very interesting picture. He had obviously been doing a lot of different things in his life, and his face had been marked by this. His fingers was dirty and his hair graying.<\/p>\n

\"The<\/a>

The golden statue looked very scruffy without his mask on.<\/p><\/div>\n

A few days earlier I had walked around with a little Canon G12 and two of the pictures from that day are below. This street performer was overdoing it by a fair amount. His way of playing made him look like this.<\/p>\n

\"He<\/a>

He is a not so typical street performer. He was REALLY into himself playing. So much so that it made me take this picture.<\/p><\/div>\n

\n
After 22 of july I think most Norwegians appreciate and like that we are a multicultural society. (At least I do) The Freia Chocolate commercial on the main street of Oslo have gotten a double meaning. (Mitt lille stykke Norge = My little piece of Norway). So while I was there thinking about how to catch that image, two beautiful young women, that probably were not born in Norway, came walking past. I hurriedly changed my camera settings to blur them slightly out and grabbed this image.<\/wbr><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\"Norway<\/a>

Norway is multicutural<\/p><\/div>\n

Some of these images have been published earlier on my Google+<\/a> and Picasa<\/a> streams.<\/p>\n
