Ok, so I haven’t updated my blog in a while. This is because my beloved Macbook has been in the shop getting a new keyboard as I spilled coffee on it on my birthday. I got the bill too… Happy Birthday! To top it all off, I went on a great shoot yesterday at Långholmen with Johnny and Daniel C (both whom I work with), and when I put my camera away I noticed that one of the focal glass pieces from the view finder has fallen out and it’s near impossible to shoot. Another repair coming up, hooray. At least this just a slip of glass, should only be 50:- but that’s not the point. Clutz.

The good news is that I did have a very successful day behind the lens and will be uploading some photos to my Flickr stream shortly, right after I finish my Berlin set (which is sitting on some tool’s desk in St Eriksplan).

I’m currently in the office editing the photos on my PC. Man, I HATE Windows, Microsoft, and anything that causes me to spend an hour downloading, installing, hacking and cursing just to do one simple task. I’m talking about how XP doesn’t natively recognise RAW files. I only shoot in RAW, so when I connected my camera, I was very nervous as to why I didn’t see any photos.

I won’t bore you with details, but for those interested, a small registry hack will allow you to install the Canon EOS Utility (if you don’t have the install CD handy), thus being able to read the files off the camera and begin post production.

Who cares anyway, you’re all on Mac’s, right? I hope so.

Last night my flatmate from NYC, Matteo, cooked us handmade gnocci supreme. It was out of this world delicious. So simple to make as well (not taking anything away from you Matteo, as I know there’s a nack to it), so I’m going to give it a shot sometime soon. Potato, egg, flour, bang. Delish. We got in at 3am and heated the rest up having a lovely midnight feast. The perfect way to avoid hangover.

This morning I returned the favour and cooked up poached eggs, bacon, black beans and toast. It was the first time that Matteo & Johnny had ever eaten poached eggs and loved it. The black beans were interesting and sure as hell don’t taste like Heinz’s finest. Still, it was a good fry up!

Updates from the photo mission coming atcha, till then, hej då!
