A while back I stumbled across the photography of Rune Guneriussen, bookmarked it, and promptly forgot about it for the better part of a year. Recently when cleaning out my bookmarks I found it again and am simply astounded by all the pictures.
I guess part of the reason I am attracted to these pictures is that I enjoy night photography. Whenever I look at them I can’t help but try to figure out how they were taken. Generally taking the pictures like these is easy, but I just cannot imagine the logistics behind getting all these lamps into the forest and supplying power to them.
A while back Mikael and I had an idea very similar to this where we would take a sofa, television, side table and lamp around the province and photograph them in various random places. I liked the idea of a living room set up in the forest, a normal, typical home but completely out of context. These pictures make me want to revisit that project although how to cart everything around and supply power to it still eludes me.

This is my blog, the place where I can post anything I want on the internet. Typical posts include stories, photographs and humorous things I've found elsewhere.
Lets do it, you can get the mini-van, I know someone who probably would lend us the generator, I could get a TV and I’ve got a lamp. All we need is an arm chair or a love seat (sofa might take up too much space in a van)
