i just finished my 2nd norway video for my GoddessKRING broadcast.
i 4got to share that in norwegian "kringkasting" means "broadcasting"! how magical is that?
i made the still slide show/video mix with windows movie maker software and then i used audacity 1.3 beta with michrophone for my audio and put a little reverb on my voice to make it sound better. this is my first time doing voice over in this way. it worked pretty well...talking over my footage in real time then splicing them 2gether...
on monday may 12th from 1030-11pm my norway2 video will play from http://www.scantv.org livewebcast...

i have several hundred photos to sift through and edit...
i took a nice bike ride today in the sunshine. i ended up going to the center for spiritual living and listened to an inspiring talk and heard some great music...then synchronistically they had a free two hour workshoppe on finding your calling in life. i know doing my art is my calling- but figuring how to make a career with my talents is what i need to discover. i sat there with about 30 other women and did the two hour session taking notes etc...good experience...i have been talking about my career with my boyfriend lately...wanting to shift from modeling eventually to something new. ideally would like to find a way to make a living with my creative talents...i have many skills but i am not sure how to put them to use careerwise...
i spend hours and hours working with my photography passions...many possibilities. (modeling is hard work and has gotten draining over the years. i am still modeling but not as much right now. taking a lighter load of it...resting, getting quiet and trying to see what else is there for me to contribute workwise.) i'd like to concentrate full time on my art...we shall see what is possible...
i am proud of my photography and website and tv show...hours go by and i dont even notice when i do what i love. i want to translate what i love doing into making money. that would be amazing...
i got a chart today of skills to check off and see where i have gifts and where i have weaknesses. interesting to see what my skills are...i have more than i thought...i'm curious what types of careers i would fit into.
i will keep doing my art forever- no matter what...i just also need to figure out how to make more money...doing things i enjoy.
modeling has been fun in many ways but also very tiring. 16 years of it= hard to believe i have been modeling so long. would like a change eventually...i have some fears to face in this area of changing my career etc... |

i am back in seattle now from norway.
man it was an ordeal flying out of oslo. my plane was 14 hours late in leaving norway cuz they needed to replace a part in the airplane...and it needed to be flown in from a bigger airport in europe. first they said london then they said frankfurt germany...then someone screwed up in germany and didn't put the part with the cargo...
our plane was supposed to leave at 11:25am from oslo but we ended up taking off at 1:30am instead! how insane. they kept telling us "two more hours" then "two more hours" on and on it went.
they gave us all food vouchers to buy ourselves lunch and dinner at the airport. that helped ease the stress a bit.
i was at the oslo airport waiting to fly from 930am until 130am!

last night i walked around with a nice women from russia and her friend from norway...we talked and joked about different countries and the pros and cons of policies etc. the russian woman is going to take an amtrak train across the usa in the fall and come to seattle towards the end and i will show her around seattle. fun.
i love meeting people from different countries...
we walked past a bar in oslo and i heard a band playing a song that sounded familiar...then i realized it was a tom petty song! an obscure one...not a hit. a newer song called "counting on you". i video taped part of it. such a thrill to hear tom petty music being played in another country...
Counting On You Lyrics
Artist: Tom Petty

bergen norway cobblestone.
6 new pics
http://www.flickr.com/photos/shannonkringen
i am uploading pics now...i have 1000s and will catch up when i fly back to seattle in a few days...bergen is so pretty...oslo and bergen both very different and interesting cities. the fjords are amazing. got some great photos from a two hour boat ride from a place called flam to Gudvangen...it took 13 hours and we rode a train, then another train, then a boat, then a bus, then another train. very interesting trip...then i spen the night in a youth hostel in bergen then took more photos and video and walked around bergen then took a 7 hour train from bergen back to oslo.
i love the trains here. they run all over the place and very much on time. so many little towns and cities where they stop. very efficient system here. you just board the train and they check your tickets later on during the trip. its very much an honor system...you have an assigned seat and they fine you heavily if you cheat on your ticket...its just nice to know how smoothly it runs and how people use common sense and it flows well. very cool how the big train station is connected to the local metro subway trains. you just switch from one system to the other very easily with different kinds of tickets. some you need to validate and have stamped and some you dont.
more later...fascinating trip. i will miss these trains. i wish all countries had such a good mass transit system. the usa would do well to have more trains put into large cities like they have in europe. norway is like france and the uk in terms of how great the trains are.
in oslo they also have a lot of busses and trams and taxis all over the place. very well run...cars, bikes, motorcycles, trams and work together.
i got myself a one week train pass good for unlimited rides aall the local trains throughout oslo for 210.oo nok which is about 42.oo usa dollars.
its about 5 nok to 1 dollar.
the average soda in a store is about 12 nok. that is about 2.40 in usa money.
basically 100.00 nok equals 2o.oo dollars...i am just getting used to the math.
its great to use bank machines in the mall...i just put my card in and it lets me pick english as my language and then i choose the amount in nok money and viola i get my receipt. i was told the exchange rate is best in bank machines and not in bank or exchange places. (easier too no lines etc.) i have had an easy time getting money this way. amazing technology...converting money is cool with minibank machines...they are all over. i am very carefull and feel relativelly safe here. i shop mostlly in rimi grocery stores. they are the discount stores here. amazing good deals. also they have such good whole grain bread here with seeds and nuts. you slice it yourself. very yummy. i get that at the regular more healthy food store...called meny...
