23 Apr Exploring Norway with photographer Martin Erd
For many people of the western society, travelling has become commonplace. It’s almost de rigueur now to take short hikes, weekend trips away and to leave, at least once a year, for a longer expedition. Naturally, this has inspired the new trend of healthy living and inner balance that has been found out on the trail – we are tuning back into our roots.
As a photographer I’m on the road a lot more than most people and no matter how many places I have visited (or will visit) being outside is not conducive of a short lived lifestyle, instead travelling is one of the greatest gifts in my life. Being able to work outdoors, with nature, is a priceless asset to me, it teaches me so many things by connecting with the country, the people, nature and myself. No matter where you wander – from mountain top or a short walk in the city – you can find beauty in any landscape. I’ve travelled to Ethiopia for example, to find myself overwhelmed by the charisma and positive energy of the people who are living in extreme poverty. Travel puts everything into perspective.
