Norwegian Photographer: Hanne Hvattum
Beautiful images of people and their stories. I especially like the project where she stayed in a train station in Copenhagen that sees 100,000 people go through in 24 hours. Photography like this reminds me why I love people.

These are incredible :) I really enjoyed looking at all of these pictures, and felt like I knew something about each of these people just by seeing their pictures. I also can't believe she's only 25. It really astounds me when people so young are already creating such beautiful works and truly do have a lifetime of potential masterpieces ahead of them.
thought of the day: in photos we are allowed to see not as 'is' but as 'is preferred.' humanity, by our love, is transformed into an image of a lovable thing. conversely, by our derision, an object becomes derisive. the most we may say when viewing a photographer's work is, 'i love the way that this photographer views humanity for it aligns with the way that i view humanity and that is as a wonderfully nuanced, and overall good thing.'
i would have to agree with you there, nathan. maybe part of how it reminds me of how much i love people is that the photographer must love people to take shots like these, and knowing that one person can look on total strangers with such love is a beautiful thing that i'm happy to be reminded of.
