Anmerkungen:
"Opening the first page of Hilde Aagaard’s simple black and white tome Ishavsgast (Arctic Seafarer) is to step back in time – to us non-seafaring folk, it is almost to step onto another planet. The black and white publication is a poignant elegy to Hilde’s father, to his years as a Norwegian fisherman and to the men whom accompanied him on these perilous journeys across the North Sea. The photographs and diary entries translated into English to the rear of the book are the work of Asbjorn Trygve Aagaard. 'I discovered the collection of photographs when I was a child,” says Hilde. “They were a natural part of our family albums for me to look through now and again. I especially loved the photographs of the icebergs. In my twenties I realised the value of his photographs and text as an important part of my family story and of Norway’s cultural heritage.'" --Kaleid Editions website (viewed on December 2, 2016). - With English translation by Peter Cripps. - Publication was a 2015 Kaleid Editions selection
