Believe Quote by Torbjørn Rødland

“Los Angeles made me less interested in making my images move. Everything is evolving and regressing. It can be hard to pinpoint which changes are linked to place. I believe California has made me more polite. I get a little surprised when I rediscover how direct and rude Norwegians can be.” quote by Torbjørn Rødland — Download Open image
