Kristiansund lies in a remote corner of mid-

Norway. It is built on a series of islandssurrounding a naturally protected Sound.

Until recently it was entirely cut off from the mainland,until a deep tunnel and suspension bridge were built.Historically the town was supported by the fishing

industry, both catching and exporting fish. The localdried, salted cod, "klippfisk", is the traditional centralingredient in the Portuguese dish Bacalao. With recenttrends in fishing around northern European waters,Kristiansund saw years of decline.

Introduction

A revitalisation of the town has been underway for thelast decade or two. As the Norwegian oil industry movesits efforts northwards, so Kristiansund has found a role asan impotant support centre for the activities in the mid-

Norway region. Even in the few years I have known thetown, there has been a dramatic change in its character.The signs of rejuvenation are everywhere but not at theexpense of historic influences.

Now the harbour is a busy mix of pleasure craft, small

fishing boats, foreign trawlers, ferries and oil industryvessels.

For several years I lived and worked in Kristiansund butnever paid it much attention, photographically. Recently Ireturned for a series of visits, giving me the opportunityto photograph the town and its surroundings. Thisallowed me to work as a sort of informed outsider - not aresident but with the local knowledge of one. With theseimages I hope to capture what is for me the essence of the town - a beautiful yet remote place with strongconnections to the sea.
