Director of Blueberry Worldwide Johan Asplund with Jenny Heron in Stockholm

In Stockholm they love photography and it's power to tell stories and I had a wonderful day in the Norwegian City of Bergen. Photography has such a strong presence here! The students are on the summer break but the visit to the Bergen Academy of Art & Design with its large photography department and emphasis on a personal reflective practice was very interesting.

There is a wonderful summer program at the KODE galleries including an extensive Edvard Munch exhibition. In the Bryggens Museum there is a moving, confronting and powerful photo documentary exhibition by Norwegian independent documentary photographer Rune Eraker 'A Blind Eye'. With his large black & white prints he brings us face to face with the stories of those who really feel the consequences of climate change and those who will really pay the price for these changes. It shows us the power of photography to tell stories and confront the viewer, we are made to stop and think and contemplate the human price of 'progress'! What a powerful exhibition.
