I just learned today that my dear friend Trym Bergsmo passed away last Saturday.

I first met Trym at the On Landscape Meeting of Minds conference around 2016. We shared a mutual friend in Lofoten. Trym was such a lovely guy to hang out with, always positive, always thinking of the better things in life, optimistic, and a really friendly sense of humour.

I have fond memories of visiting him in Norway at his country house, and both of us being so ill with the flu that we sat around discussing art, photography and all the other things in life that one has to encounter. In a way, it was possibly one of the best ways to get to know a new friend.

Since then, we often zoom called, and he was always keen to come to Scotland to do some photography.

I’m going to miss him terribly.
