I'm a 17 year old guy called Petter (If you come from an English speaking coutry, don't even try pronouncing that, call me Peter). I'm from a shitty town called Stavanger, in the west part of the shitty country called Norway, or as I like to call it, Nowhere.

I currently have the best girlfriend in the world, she's called Marie. Without her, my world is empty and boring. I work at a camera shop called Japan Photo. It's all right, i suppose. Don't really think I'll be spending the rest of my work life there, but it's nice to get some cash (Even though I spend it all on camera stuff...).

I'm still evolving, photography wise. Haven't found my own style yet, but I'm looking forward to it. I used to be a HDR guy, but I'm quite bored of that now (No HDR's @ jpg, they are all at http://sn0dig.deviantart.com/ where I post most of my stuff). The first SLR i bought was a Nikon D40x, but before that I had used my dad's EOS 350D. After a while I sold my D40x and bought a D200. When I started at Japan Photo, I couldn't resist buying a D300. Now, you'd might think that I still have the D300, but no. When i bought a used F100 in London, I got really dissapointed with the grip and overall feeling of the D300, so I traded it for a D2x.

I take pictures of everything, really. Not so much portraits, but now and then I do that as well. I use both digital and analog (D2x and F100), liking the feeling around analog. It's a bit too easy just to snap lots of pics and sort out the crappy ones on digital, but if you do that with analog it's gonna cost you.

This must feel like a story with no end, but that's because it is. I've got no idea what I'll do with my life, and so far, that's been working for me... ish.
