Norwegian Radio Interview
December 20th, 2011 § Leave a Comment
In February I was interviewed by a journalist from the NRK (the Norwegian Broadcasting Corporation) show Banden about my work.
We sat down and talked about some selected medical photos of mine and it turned out pretty good, I think. Now I’ve finally gotten my hands on the recording, for your (Norwegian) listening pleasure.

Four Years!
December 11th, 2011 § 1 Comment
The Sterile Eye turned four years on 11.11.11, and it passed me by! The last year haven’t been my most active in blogging, but I should have remembered that.
To celebrate four years of life, death and surgery through a lens, I bring you four “forgotten” posts (i.e. with few visits) from each year from 11.11.2007 to 11.11.2011. Here’s to more time for blogging in 2012. Enjoy!

WordPress sent me a great review of The Sterile Eye stats for 2010. Here’s a summary:
The Louvre Museum has 8.5 million visitors per year. This blog was viewed about 85,000 times in 2010. If it were an exhibit at The Louvre Museum, it would take 4 days for that many people to see it.
In 2010, there were 52 new posts, growing the total archive of this blog to 225 posts. There were 248 pictures uploaded, taking up a total of 24mb. That’s about 5 pictures per week.
The busiest day of the year was April 17th with 1,105 views. The most popular post that day was Jan van Rymsdyk – Drawer of Wombs.
