The planes were coming in low. They appeared silent at first, almost ghostlike through the jagged outline of San Diego.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
It's a strange place to be anchored. We had a huge miltary base behind us, and every now and then we could hear the thumping sounds of distant helicopters. I watched as five grey choppers took off like a pack of wolves, following each other suit over the low rectangular buildings.</div>

I rowed the dinghy to town. I walked with the camera, trying to be open for something new. Planes were constantly coming in at the airport. I could hear the short squeeks of rubber and sudden roars from thrust reversals. It was a noisy place. Cars and trains added to the constant buzz of modern infrastructure. But the high-tech buzz would not give anything away. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
After awhile I realized that this place was forcing me to accept photography as something else. I had to stop lying.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Landfall in Nova Scotia was tricky. Coming from Bay of Fundy we had patches of fog and the world's highest tides to consider. It was crucial to time it right before entering Grand Passage. But everything turned out right and we had a good rest at Brier Island.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Leafing through the guidebook I suddenly realized that Joshua Slocum had spent parts of his childhood here. I got the feeling that Brier Island was holy ground. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
There was a guy at the dock who casually informed us about his distant relative. In fact, he invited us to his old house where the documentary about Slocum had a scene or two. History came to life. Everything in the house seemed untouched for a generation or two.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
We left Brier Island in dead calm, but with a 4 knot current and standing waves in the riptide. It spat us out in a grey wall of fog. It's hard to imagine a place like this without gps. Joshua Slocum had the trickiest training ground on earth.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">We got a new cat in Canada. It disappeared after a couple of weeks. We plastered missing cat posters all over. Then I heard a woman calling out to the boat. This is the cat, she shouted.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">It turned out to be a different cat. But I couldn't say for sure, since our cat had been missing for two weeks already. I thought she might have changed.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Nina found our cat the next day. Now we had two cats. They were almost identical, a siamese mix of some sort.</span></span><br />
<br /></div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-fOfqdeaupvY/VMfK3MmS0iI/AAAAAAAACC0/jllx8ESrnss/s1600/Bika%2C%2BHudson%2C%2Bblogg.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Henrik Nor-Hansen (photo)" border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-fOfqdeaupvY/VMfK3MmS0iI/AAAAAAAACC0/jllx8ESrnss/s1600/Bika%2C%2BHudson%2C%2Bblogg.jpg" title="Bika on the Hudson, 2014" /></a></div>
<br />
<div align="justify">
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">We entered Hudson River in the autumn. The trees were all ablaze. I had really radiant dreams. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">But the hunting season had started and we could hear what sounded like regular shootouts at dusk. These guys were serious, with camouflage painted faces.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I was about to take the cat ashore. The cat was at the bow, hesitating. From the dinghy I could see her puffy upper lip and I suddenly got a vague thought about John Malkovitch. I might have been worried about the hunting militia. </span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">We hardly saw any wildlife but I felt unsafe in the ongoing war against ducks and deers. </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">So I rowed slowly ashore, kind of reluctant. I had promised to take better pictures of the cat. Just in case she disappeared again. </span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">The past and the future takes place right now, in our minds. It's possible to get away from it all. Not by death but by living.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">I never really liked this picture because the way it intruded the privacy of a stranger. I also didn't like the feeling of humiliating others. But pictures do change over time. In this case I would say it has something to do with me forgetting the woman's face. It's just a crotch on a bus stop. But then again it's something more. This particular crotch now has me groping for words. I have always found photography to be a profoundly sad activity. </span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Our stay in Nome, Alaska, was way too short.

<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Then it struck me that houses really looked different when people sleep. The houses seemed more vulnerable. There was even intimacy. And the more intimate it felt, the creepier I become. </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">I wished people somehow could project their dreams on the walls outside. But I just snapped a pic- ture and quickly moved on. </span></span> <br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Last week I took a flight to London and embarked the night train to Falmouth. In that way I didn't have to pay for a hotel. I arrived early morning. There was a lot of seagulls in the harbour. I felt fine for a while.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I met the broker and had a look at the boat, a Heard 28. It's a lot of hype around British built boats in Britain. After half an hour I had enough.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I walked around in Falmouth town for the rest of the day. I felt a cold coming and the seagulls was getting on my nerves. </span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I took the night train back to London and again I saved money on not having a room. It was damn cold, or maybe it just felt so cold because I hadn't slept two nights in a row.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I walked around Paddington station. I kept drinking tea to keep my warmth. Later it got sunny but I was still freezing. I sent an email to Nina saying the boat was no good and that the cockpit looked like it was created by a drunk designer.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I took the tube to Victoria and walked around in the area. After an hour of this I returned to the airport. By now I was feeling really sick. I couldn't stand myself.</span></span> </div>

hoping to escape civilization. But he didn't get along with the locals.
Eventually he and his wife took shelter in a cave, anxious to get home.</span></span> </div>

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">But I've been struggling with sinusitis and whatnot the last months. Saturday I was coming fog- brained and miserable along the dock in the dark, and misjudging the distance I jumped right out in seemingly nothing before my chest hit the toerail. Nina dragged my out of the water and I had cracked a couple of ribs by the feel of it.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">I'm walking in downtown Apia, the only city on Samoa. It's a rather conservative place. Walking with a camera and tripod I get the feeling that most people view me as slightly insane.<br /><br />But now it's festival week. I figure most people will take it for granted that I'm photographing the fire dancers.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I've always been slightly afraid of old houses. I guess an old house is somewhat associated with the deceased.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I<span style="font-size: small;"> still wonder why the Chinese were so afraid of me taking pictures. They ducked their heads as if they were dodging bullets. Or they picked up a phone, letting me discreetly know that steps were taken.</span></span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Unable to deal with people I turn to flowers and leaves. Then the flowers seem too pretty, or just too much, so I just stick with the leaves.</span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">I had walked for hours under the blistering sun. Brown and sand colored dogs were sleeping in the dust. The<span style="font-size: small;">y</span> looked like dead dogs.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Then it was getting dark and I walked into a loud crowd. A stranger offered me a shot of tequila. The noise made it difficult to hear. It somehow came across that I was driving.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">We tried to speak for a while. I told him about our boat and said that it was maybe a month sailing to Marquesas. I could tell that he had no idea what I was talking about. I wanted to know <span style="font-size: small;">everything <span style="font-size: small;">a</span></span>bout the crowd and the tall pointed hats, but didn'<span style="font-size: small;">t want to be perceived as too much of a tourist. </span></span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Now that I've cut down on my drinking I've come to appreciate the alienated inebriation <span style="font-size: small;">of</span> i<span style="font-size: small;">gnorance. </span> </span></span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">In Vancouver I found a huge grocery store that had <span style="font-size: small;">goo<span style="font-size: small;">d natural light from the ceiling.<span style="font-size: small;"> I decided to do a<span style="font-size: small;"> </span>project a<span style="font-size: small;">bout shopping. I was <span style="font-size: small;">interested in that glassy look</span> some people get wh<span style="font-size: small;">en</span> being bored or overly tired.</span></span></span></span></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: small;">But it t<span style="font-size: small;">urned out that I was underestimating th<span style="font-size: small;">e customers at the store. <span style="font-size: small;">I wa</span>s on <span style="font-size: small;">their turf, and I soon got<span style="font-size: small;"> rounded up by a mob of hockey m<span style="font-size: small;">o</span>ms, or just suburban <span style="font-size: small;">women</span> in general. One of them <span style="font-size: small;">shouted</span> that</span> I <span style="font-size: small;">photographed</span> her nine year old daughter. <span style="font-size: small;">This is when I reali<span style="font-size: small;">z</span>ed that further arguing could be difficult.</span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></div>

But <span style="font-size: small;">k</span>nowing about my project enraged them even more. Why? Because taking pictures of people in a shopping mall <span style="font-size: small;">was</span> not art.<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></div>

I grew <span style="font-size: small;">up in the same kind of suburban neighborhood<span style="font-size: small;">. Canada or</span> Norway, it doesn't matter. It's<span style="font-size: small;"> <span style="font-size: small;">a kind of</span></span> inflamed an<span style="font-size: small;">ger</span> that<span style="font-size: small;">'s really puzzling.</span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></div>

I knew they had no right to do so, but <span style="font-size: small;">what the heck<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: small;">. Who cares? Next time I will just use a more compact camera, with a silent shutter.</span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">There was a man drinking by the hotel pool. He had heard a voice that lured him out on a field in the back of the place. There wasn't anything out there. Just scrubs and windblown plastic.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">He'd been walking half drunk through the dark, wearing sweatpants and flip-flops. Suddenly the voice told him to stop drinking. He thought it was odd.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Finally he eased back to the pool and had another drink. He then told me about the voice. I didn't know what to say. None of us were into chitchat and we parted after a while, without really saying anything.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Later I passed outside his room. He was sitting on the bed, watching TV. There was a huge explo- sion and he leant slowly forward in the orange gloom.</span></div>
