This is a slide that I took on my way to Reykjavík, this is shot on the mountain road just before entering the capital. This was one of my first slide films and I had not shot much with my Olympus OM2 before. So when I think of it today I think the exposure is kind of good comparing to how little training I had had with this camera. Even it seems a bit dark in the bottom the film isn’t this dark but the color profile for the internet is just not batter than this.

On day when I went out running I passed this place and I thought to my self that this would be a great place to photograph, I think the different color heat in this photo does a lot for the photo otherwise it would not have the same feeling to it. For me it is hard to describe what I think about this photo because I just don’t have any words that would describe it the way I feel. I just think it is so mystical.

Close to the flat that I lived in last summer there was a night market, it was in a walking distance. We went there several times to buy some food. Most of the times we went to this vendor to buy some curry’s. I think it is so special to go out and buy a curry in a plastic bag. I guess that I’m just not used to that in Iceland. I usually bought Massaman because that’s my favorite curry, specially with chicken and rice.

This photo was shot in late September and it was shot with my Olympus OM2 loaded with TX 400. I was in a sheep roundup with my uncle at a neighbors farm, we went there to help them out because that day we had not planed anything special. It was a lot of fun to be there with all these sheep’s, so much action. I started the day with my film camera but then unfortunately the battery was finished and for some reason I had forgotten to pack extras in my bag but I just started to shoot digital there after and some of the shot are in the farm collection in the sheep’s set.

This photo was shot when I was just arriving to the paradise island Koh Larn close to Pattaya in Thailand. I saw this fishing boat just arriving home. I don’t have much to say about this photo but I just wanted to share it.
January 13-14th
I shot this while on a trip with my family, we had just gone to Laos because I had to renew my visa and when suddenly we saw a rocket fly up into the air. So of corse we wanted to go and check it out, my family already knew what was going on and I had a clue but it was something I had not seen before only heard of. There was a big group of farmers standing all around something made out of bamboo with blue rockets attached to it. I ran to it with my camera because this was something that I did not want to miss. There were mostly men standing there and looking up into the sky, they were betting on which rocket would go highest. This is a tradition in Thailand to shoot rockets at this time of year. It is a way for the farmers to remind the gods that they have already planted the rice and now they need rain. This has been done for hundreds of years and I was told that NASA used they same methods when they started shooting spacecrafts into space. I don’t know if it was because of these rockets but when we had just entered the car to go back home, it started raining.
