We don't give up dreaming...


When i close my eyes i am back to the "office" in Santorini, where we spent 5 wonderful days in September, photographing the wedding of Νικος and Χαρα!
The "office" was outdoors, had a temperature of some 26 * Celcius and a nice breeze, was near the swimming pool and had a magnificent view over the caldera. There was even a service for coffees and drinks...

Then i open the eyes again and look outside the window. The office this time is indoors because it is 21 * Celsius under zero.
The sweeds looove it! I have no idea how many words there are in the swedish language about the different kinds of snow and its noice when one is walking on it. Soon it is time for a week of winter holidays all over the country, so that the people will enjoy the winter sport activities.



I think i shall continue dreaming ...

Isihia - Silence


"Isihia" (= Ησυχία ) is the greek name for "silence".

I have travelled many times to the monastic community of the Holly Mount Athos, in Greece, where silence is very much appreciated by the monks who live there. It helps them concentrate on the spiritual world, on praying, on God. It helps them avoiding the distractions of the materialistc world.

Isihia (Bulgarian: Исихия, "hesychia") are a Bulgarian music band founded in 2000, the style of which unites elements of Bulgarian folklore and Hesychast Christian chant of the 14th century to create an atmosphere of Balkan spiritual mysticism (copied from Wikipedia).

Well, guess our surprise when we were contacted by the production company of the new album of the group, who were interested to buy the right to use 3 of our pictures from Athos for worldwide use for the new cd of the group.
The negotations are going on with the lawyers of the company and on the meantime we have the chance to listen to samples of the group's music at their homepage. They can also be found at facebook, as well as in the iTunes Store.

some photos to catch up ...

We have not blogged for some time now, and the trouth is that we have been a little lazy due to the holidays but that we spent much more time with our children than the cameras and the computer.
But here come some photos from some of the jobs we have done during the last weeks.


The priminister of Sweden, Fredrik Reinfeldt, came to the Stockholm University, to talk about enviromental issues. Unfortunately, his tight schedule did not permit a planned interviue with portrait photos, but it was a joy anyway to photograph him while adressing the audience, as you can see at the following contact-sheet.



The Swedish Fiscal Policy Council needed some photos for their homepage, from their meeting to discuss and comment the 2010 Budget Bill of the Swedish Gouverment (I was almost three hours with them but i can not brag that i understood that much with all that economy terminology!) :-)



The Stockholm University was visited by the Minister of Higher Education and Research, Tobias Krantz, who spent half a day there. He was photographed in front of Aula Magna during the 3-4 minutes that were booked in his schedule for that.


In Aula Magna was also Paul Crutzen photographed, during his visit to the University. As a Nobel prize winner in chemistry in 1995, this was not the first time to visit the place. His signature is part of the decoration of the wall near the entrance of Aula Magna.


Eva Brunne is the new bishop in Stockholms Stift, and on the 10th of January was at the Storkyrka for the cosecration of the new priests. That was the first time since she became the new bishop.
