some kind of blog for friends and likes

Shot these for the new collaboration between Ali Zedtwitz and Weekday. Hair & make up by Nina Belkhir. Josefine Z and Rasmus G as models. And got that Polaroid 600 se as well. Sweet.

If anybody has a Polaroid 600 se for sale, let me know.

Working on my new books. Its a hard job managing 9 ones. Also today: Plan four shoots, brainstorm on two projects I’m doing this fall, update my goals, take E out on a surprise dinner, hopefully visit some friends in a gallery and rest. Went to the gym this morning and realized I’m badly out of shape. Might have started out a little to hard, can barely lift my arms to answer the phone now.

The wall at this point. A few images is yet to be released. Will post them soon.

One more from the shoot for Noir et Blanc. Like this one a lot.

Back in Stockholm again. The final part of the trip was very nice. Best was without doubt lunch at Arzak, we sat for more than 6 hours, lost track of how many dishes we had (8? 10? 15?), and was given a tour of the restaurant by Elina and Juan Mari. Very impressive winecellar, and a very inspiring experimentkitchen. Promised them not to publish any images of the dishes taken with my compactcamera. Best dish was however the Figs with foie-gras oil with caramelized sugar on top.

We went to Bilbao and the Guggenheim museum. You have got to love a museum that has a very strong connection to the past like that, and still doesn’t feel a bit nostalgic in its current exhibitions. Finally found a book about Yves Klein that I have missed for a long time in their bookshop. On the way home we stayed at Marquis de Riscal, the winery that opened a hotel designed by Frank Gehry, who also did the Guggenheim in Bilbao. Great Wine, great food, great design. And we ate at a lot of other nice restaurant as well… Feels like I have gained 5 kg. Back to the gym.
