Disappointment on Statfjord B

Im sitting at Bergen airport now, waiting to get flight home. The last two days have been a massive waste of time. I was called out to a potentially awesome job on Statfjord B. With 5 colleagues and two others from out sister company. The scope of work was awesome, all of us got on like a house on fire, and we were all looking forward to get going with the job.

Due to unforseen technical issues and misunderstandings from companies onshore, we lost the job due to conflict of interest of Statoils operating procedures. All of us were sent home on the next chopper. What a heart breaker. I was and seriously still am bummed out about that. Such is life though right?

Oh well, had an awesome night with my colleagues in Bergen last night, sort of belated birthday celebration. Good vibes. I work with a very cool group of guys.

Im noticing a trend on my blog, the ratio of work related posts in relation to photography related posts is increasing at an alarming rate. This is not good. I should be shooting more. I need to get my shit together.
Would be nice to shoot 1 for 1 with real work. Every job i go out on, has to be followed by new photo shoot. Reasonable goal? I think so.

One last note, the rain in Bergen is ridiculous. RIDICULOUS.
Here are some pics of Statfjord B. Cheers, N.

Its bigger than it looks, sleeps 230 people no problem.

I quick shot I got while we were on one of our many coffee breaks.
