Having a cold...

This week I had a really big cold. I felt weak all day long. Horrible!
My stomach isn't hurting, but I also don't have the need to eat. I'm getting green when I'm thinking about eating... don't know why.
So my meal for the day is soup and a few fruits. That's all... since 3 days or so.
This "feeling sick" is now since a week or so... hope it's gonna get better - NOW! not tomorrow or any day soon - NOW!

I'm finishing the concepts for a few photo shootings - one is my first big fashion shoot. I can't wait to meet the designer to do some creative "brain storming".
And I have so many other shoots to do.... kids, beauty, "nightmare" project, etc.

Ya, that's all for the moment. Need to drink... I'm feeling thirsty all day long...

A home for the boat

That's the new home for my Daddy's boat! It's so beautiful there. Yeah, you can't see it very clear here, but it really is and I'm so excited and happy about it. Maybe it's gonna be there in April, so be sure - I'll be doing a shooting there. I love that place. So peaceful and my Dad said everyone is really friendly there.

Haven't blogged for a long time - but so much is happening! I'm part of FM5 - the online magazine. Really great girls and boys there. I'm posting the links as soon as something is published that is written by me (or that is showing my photos).

Then I got so many request for photo shootings. I think April is half full already. It's wonderful!

I've also taken a mental training class last weekend. I really enjoyed it and learned much. It would be too much to retell but I learned that it's important to make my dreams clear, to watch every detail and beware of it.

Last Friday was such a beautiful day. Here are a few picture of the walk I took with my boy: (Taken with cellphone cam)



And here is the latest view on my home studio: (Also taken with cellphone cam)


Hope you all had a great week!
Love,

New Shootings

Me and my model and wonderful friend Christine after our shooting in my car (taken with cellphone cam). The new shots are already online on my flickr page. (Link on the right)

So I'm working on my stuff for the meeting with the online magazin on monday in Vienna. I'm excited about it.

Shopping

This is my boy with his baby, our new family member. The laptop is actually placed on "Dave" the laptop-desk from Ikea.

At the big big Ikea store I bought little stuff for my studio and of course I had to go to the Food Shop. You have to know (if you don't already know) I am a huge Sweden fan.
So everytime I go to Ikea I have to buy something real swedish.
Down below we have: Swedish beer, Fish in garlic sauce, a big Daim package (yummy, I think I'm gonna use them for my cupcakes), and smoked Elk Salami.
There is a little funny story behind that salami.
Michael: Not bad salami... a bit spicey.... haha... elk salami.
Me (thinking he was joking and tasting it too): Yeah... not bad (then reading the words on the packaging) Oh my god this is really elk!!! I ate elk salami! *scream*

These are my latest favs on flickr. Haven't done this in quite a while. But I discovered so many wonderful, inspiring, beautiful artists. Visit it them - you won't regret it.

I also made friends with many new contacts... it's so great to see others work and share thoughts about it.

Can't wait for Thursday - I'm doing a shooting! Really excited about it - I'm not gonna tell anything until the photos are finished.

Going to IKEA later with my honey. I'm looking for decorations and furniture for my new little low-budget studio.

Oh - and does anyone have some good advise on Polaroid instant cameras? I'm thinking about buying one.
