Upload a day 1-7 January

Since on 1st of January I have been uploading a photo each day, most of them are photos from last year but since I have not been active enough to upload I thought I would try to upload more so this year I am going to upload a photo every day and try each week to upload at least one new. Even tough one day I would fail to upload an image I not going to stop, I guess I will just upload two the next day.

January 1st
The Year started with a photo of fireworks which was the following day stolen by a web page for MS organization in Norway. I know it is an organization for a really bad disease but still they should not post a photo without asking for permission, I would probably have allowed it if they had asked. So after this incident I started putting a brush over my photos with my web address on it. I really don’t like putting copyright notice over my photo because I usually put it in the metadata and in the description but now since I found out that some other photos have been stolen I am going to start putting my web address across the images.

Happy New Year

January 2nd
This photo I took two years ago but I saw it while I was organizing some old photos. This was shot in the north of Thailand just after I had slept in a tent up on a mountain that was a part of one of the great national parks in Thailand. We were driving of the mountain when suddenly I saw this amazing landscape and mystic color so I asked if we could stop so I could take some photos. This is a view over a rice field and there is a small hut in the field where the workers rest on their breaks.

Amazing Thailand

January 3rd
This photo was taken in my fiancées home town actually it is her grandmother preparing for the morning market the next day. I think she is really amazing because even though see does not need to do any work she still sells things at the market just so she has something to do. She likes to do it mostly because then she meets more people and has a purpose in life. She is a really interesting woman.

Preparing for the morning market

January 4th
This photo I took in July when I was leaving Bangkok to go back to Khon Kaen. We drove past this place and I thought to my self that it would have been nice to photograph them but I didn’t ask to stop the car, which I started to regret soon after but for some amazing my mother-in-law forgot something at her sisters house so we had to turn back and get is so when we were at this place I asked to be left outside because I wanted to take some photos and I started by photographing the field and then I moved closer to these women to photograph, then I moved closer to them holding my camera in one hand then I moved it closer to my face showing them that I wanted to take a photo and when they just smiled I knew it was ok to photograph them that photo you can see here but the photo below is the photo for this day.

Harvesting crops in Bangkok

January 5th
This photo was taken in May while I was still in Bangkok and I was walking to a market on my way to a mall and on my way I saw this vendor, preparing food on the street like so many others.

Cooking on the street.


January 6th
This photo is taken while I was on a road trip with my girlfriend and we were driving from Húsavík on our way to the east part of Iceland. I was going quickly through some old photos. I saw this photo and I decided to post it only thing bad about it is the way the internet messes up the colors even thought the color profile is srgb.

The Road


January 7th
This photo was taken with an Olympus OM2 with Kodak TX 400 film using Zukkor 50mm f 1.8. I was in a sheep roundup while I was a worker on my uncle’s farm. We went to help other farmers that live close by. It was a lot of fun to go there and my uncle told me to take photos of everything because it is a lot of action there and a lot of fun as well. I uploaded my digital photos from this day last year and they are all in a set called Sheep’s in the collection Farming, Her is a link to the set. That day I shot both digital and film because when I went inside I needed to shoot much higher iso than my film was and also I wanted some color digital photos.

Catching a sheep

I will try to write something about all of the photos and the next seven days will come soon.
