Hotel Hafnia Tórshavn

... k; the house is called "Húsið uttan Ánna", which means "The house east of the river". It is very old and built in the old traditional Faroese style.

There are some interesting old things in the house and the house itself is a curiosity, because it shows how the people were living in the 19th century in the Faroes.

... was supposed to meet SIC & Orpheus at 8 pm at the rehearsal studio. Just for final feelings and updates before tomorrow's flight to Copenhagen. I jumped in a taxi and were not late than a few minutes. Frans were there and Orphy came also. We went to Hvonn, since the rest of the lads were to come a bit later. One beer would do good, and I bought Föroya Bjór, of course. The pilsner version, good that too. The official website for the beer ...

... built, and all trough the city past the Margarine Factory, Hvonn and Kaffistovan... And I asked for a light from the driver ... and smoke the last cigarette in Tórshavn in the foggy rain, writing for the bus to leave. The weather was really foggy, you could hardly see anything. Nothing in the distance but gray... I listened to some music in the bus and took some photos of the misty landscapes and fjells. Felt sad going home and saying goodbye, for now ...

... between you and your subject appear, how familiar the subject. And without camera, my brain at least work in a different way ... When I photograph, I detach myself from the physical world. In a concert situation I hear the music, but do not feel it. The energy flows through my eyes insted ... therefore, many times I choose not to take photos, if it is a band that I like and want to feel and be a part of the music. We went to ...

... vastly energy in their performances - the audience just love it. And no wonder, it is not hard to relate to their songs and thoughts. They serve them well... Last but least we hang out in central Tórshavn until early hours and went for an English breakfast in the harbor at 5 am. Loooong but very rewarding day for an foreigner in the very hospital and kind Faroe Islands.

Scenes from the 2nd day of work: [11.2.2009] In peace being & serious kicking ass rehearsal The day began with online work at the Nordic House again. Going through yesterdays photos and writing down yesterdays events and thoughts. To remember in more detail. I was to hang out with Eddie. Took the bus downtown, this time I anticipated a quicker route and got off the bus before the whole involuntary cruise through the whole Tóshavn ...

... rehearsal studio at Margarin Fabbrikken, the youth center. 10 other bands besides SIC are rehearsing there. They are a bit of a role models for the teens, told Eddie me at some earlier time. Snowy narrow steep roads brings us there and the guys are there, smoking in the doorway. Frans, Magnus, Eddie and Mikkjal. This is the first time I see Mikkjal during this journey, so hugging is a must thing to do. The guys try out some stuff in the studio and play a few songs. I forgot my ...

... looking forward to running on the treadmill for a bit. I had a bottle of water and my ipod in hand, and began to run. Before long I felt very warm, and then started to get extremely dizzy. I slowed my run to a walk, but still felt close to passing out. I stopped after a mile on the treadmill and decided to try some lower key exercises. No matter what I tried, the dizzy feeling remained, so after a while we left ...
