The 1st of Advent

Today is the 1st Sunday of advent. the Swedish have a tradition of lighting a candle from today and every Sunday till Christmas day... 4 in total.

So in a round about way, tonight it the 1st night of putting Christmas decorations up. I know that in the next few days the flat is going to get all shiny and green. All I know is that i'm not having a real tree this year.

Something for my fluffy lady

What to do.... What to do?

I have some hard thinking to do... while out on the shoot I have been using a Canon 7d and I have fallen in love with it. The trouble is that just the body alone is around £1,200.00(alot more then I have).

I went with Sony for my camera and as great as it is, I have been thinking about jumping ship for a while. Canon and Nikon are to 2 top brands in the world of Photography, They do some sick camera's and there is a lot more support going there way. I'm going to a course in the new year and I know just having a SLR that's not one of the big too... I'm already behind the class.

Now Fluff gave me an idea... If I just ship now and get a Canon (500d/550d) build up my glass again and by the time I have the big bucks for the 7D then I will have everything I need (Glass, Speed-lights etc) as well as knowing the Canon systems inside and out...

Happy Street Music Video (Day 1)

What a crazy last few days, I have just spent the last 3 days shooting a Music video for a friend of mine. Happy Street is bring about a new song and Fluff and I where there to get stills and help out, Mostly behind the scenes but also some proper shoots for the both of us.

NinetyEight Bar Was the set for the next 3 days, A large white room with a smaller room with a piano. Filming on the 1st day was set to be a Winter and a Autumn scenes, It was a great to be there but shooting in between the Filming was hard without my own light set-ups and while they where filming, was even harder as Movement and the lack of light really put up a fight.

I do love the calm and smooth-ness of the shoot in front of the camera and then the crazy mental-ness behind the camera. day one ended with a shoot of walking through a golden door.... looking forward to seeing where that door leads.

This could work

Today I came up with a really cool but very long idea, While fluff and I walked around a sci-fi shop I had a through for a tattoo.

I just spent the last few hours putting this together using a shit load of pics and photoshop CS3.

the idea is from the bottom to the top is a trip from earth and woods (fantasy) to sky and citys (Sci-fi)

How many have you read?

Fluff showed me something on face-book today, It was a note from a friend of hers.

"Have you read more than 6 of these books? The BBC believes most people will have read only 6 of the 100 books listed here.."

This was something we both wanted to look at as Fluff is a book worm but so are a lot of people that we know, This is the top 20 of the list totalling 100.

1 Pride and Prejudice - Jane Austen

2 The Lord of the Rings - JRR Tolkien

3 Jane Eyre - Charlotte Bronte

4 Harry Potter series - JK Rowling

5 To Kill a Mockingbird - Harper Lee

6 The Bible

7 Wuthering Heights - Emily Bronte

8 Nineteen Eighty Four - George Orwell

9 His Dark Materials - Philip Pullman

10 Great Expectations - Charles Dickens

11 Little Women - Louisa M Alcott

12 Tess of the D’Urbervilles - Thomas Hardy

13 Catch 22 - Joseph Heller

14 Complete Works of Shakespeare

15 Rebecca - Daphne Du Maurier

16 The Hobbit - JRR Tolkien

17 Birdsong - Sebastian Faulk

18 Catcher in the Rye - JD Salinger

19 The Time Traveler’s Wife - Audrey Niffenegger

20 Middlemarch - George Eliot

Now I was never that into books while I was young and its only something I have really gotten into them till about 5 or 6 years ago. Now I can read a book in about 4months (as long as I'm Travailing a lot), but most of the ones I had read are not on this list.

I think its funny that the Harry potters books (7 books) come as one while "33- Chronicles of Narnia - CS Lewis and 36 - The Lion, The Witch and the Wardrobe - CS Lewis" come as 2 different books.

One of 4 bookshelf in our flat and we still have books of books back in Sweden... I think BBC are wrong about this!

And For Best Music

If they gave out awards for wars, Vietnam would definitely win best Soundtrack. Many great songs

came out around the late 60s and earlyer 70s like John Lennon - Happy Christmas (War Is Over) or Jimi Hendrix - Purple Haze or even Lynyrd Skynyrd-Free bird but the shong below has been a track I have been after for ages... Th

anks to an intro in Call of Duty I now know it... Enjoy

Lack of Spinning
