Lom stave churchLom stavkirkeMy son and I photographed this building first in 2000.The purpose of all these pictures of stave churches and other Norwegian architecture was to produce some sort of professional article. Architect Gunnar Bugge is the author and co author of several books on these subjects. Gunnar had the knowledge and I had a digital camera and interest. Usually it was no problem for Gunnar to get permission and cooperation for David and I to photograph. Lom was an exception, they would not cooperate. They have nailed up large unsightly signs several places indicating that it is not allowed to photograph or take video. They would, of course, prefer to sell pictures.Some of my incorrigibility has apparently rubbed of on my son. On his own accord he took pictures through the antique windows. When he used the flash it sent the guards running out of the church, giving me the opportunity to take pictures uninhibited.A guy with a large port wine nose in, showen on the video, tried to intervene in my photographing.I smiled at him and advised him in a low voice to keep his nose out of things that was not his business. The copyright on all the stave churches ran out a very long time ago indeed! And I am incorrigible! I am not satisfied with the quality of these photos. I prefer a steady tripod instead of stealthy photographing.I plan to visit this building in the near future with a camera more suitable for stealthy photographing.One of the unusual features about this building is the flattened masts. They have an elliptical cross-section.There are NO photograph / NO video signs in the adjacent museum also.I deeply regret the necessity of the copyright notice throughout the video.Unfortunately there are too many criminals that steal such material, strip it of its author credits and present is as their own work.For more about this take a look at my video "Copyright violations eBaum & gamble idiot".
