The Beirut hippodrome is a place free from religion. The park, one of Beirut's very few green spaces, is locate​d​ in the he​a​rt of the city, on the green line that once separated Christian and Muslim neighbourhoods during the Lebanese civil war from 1975 to 1990.​ ​The hippodrome was one of the most common points to cross from one side to the other. Rumor has it that clandestine races were arranged when there was a lull in the battles.
Today it's a meeting place for several hundred men of all ages: Muslims, Palestinians, Syrians and Lebanese. Every Sunday afternoon they come here to bet on the horse they believe to be the fastest. Some see it as gambling, others see it as a possibility to make money, and the rest simply don't have anything else to do.

These pictures won the 1st prize in the Leica Up&Coming photography competition organised by Leica/Bresson.no.

Back on September 15th, 2012, I left my hometown of Oslo, Norway and began a hitchhiking journey that ended nearly three months later and 10,000km away in Beirut, Lebanon.
Although I aimed to document the whole trip in photographs, I focused on four main photo projects through the journey. They’re titled, Portraits from the Road, Right Side Window, I Slept Here, and Passengers.

Coming soon: more pictures, a short movie and a book.

The tide turned as the goat careened off of the front end of our borrowed car and the Bedouins descended over the dunes by camel, pick-up and car. We were no longer taking a trip; it was taking us. We were destined for Masirah Island, a long-forgotten peanut-shaped desertscape floating in the Arabian Sea some 15kms off of the similarly desolate and forgotten central Omani coast. Our goal there was to capture a piece of the place, to show and record what was, what is and what will be, because they too are being swept up in a tide - a modernization so meteoric that its mashed the past and present into moments where young islanders gather under the stars to watch and listen, on their smart-phones, to sorrowful music videos set to sepia slideshows of the place's recent past. Masirah is a place in transition and it is a place of raw, breathtaking natural beauty.
