Images that instantly get burned into the brain and soul! You pull something out of the mundane that demands to be noticed only after it has been noticed, and then one just wants to keep going back and look at those pictures again and again. The invisibility, humility, and absolute power of truth, becomes a clarity in your photographs that is quite breathtaking. Keep it up – you will definitely be famous some day. Then we will be sitting in our rocking chairs and say: “Guess who took Caitlin and Barry’s wedding pictures, way back when? Gustav Hoiland!” … and people will think we are making that up out of some strange need to feel important.

The photos are certainly more immediately digestible – I never know if people actually read through it all. Your name links to your site – sorry to see those St. Cago heads destroyed! Maybe Lucky should drill pilot holes…

He said that in all of his interviews that he’s done about the book (with, of course, the media), he’s realized a lot of new ideas and it’s unfortunate they can’t be incorporated into the already printed book.

For media-fasting, I spent 3 weeks on a container ship with no internet, no email, no phone, etc. For most of the trip there wasn’t even land mass to see, just horizons in all directions. It was strange but at the same time very liberating.

Wish I had a different lens with me, the fisheye makes it pretty impossible to fill the frame entirely with anything.

I’ve been thinking about the subject of over-consumption alot lately, especially in regards to the amount of media that permeates our lives every day. I was reading an article the other day about people who have started doing ‘media fasts’ where they take a week and just completely shut out media and technology..interesting idea. Love the picture! If you had been able to shoot at an angle where the whole background was the rectangles I think that might be an interesting perspective
