The winter is the darkest time of the year, but I feel that in one way, it's the "lightest" as well. It is now that everyone brings out their lanters, candles etc, bot home and outside-

 

Oh yes, I love checkeres, and shirts, and cosy checkered shirts!

I love my deer-ring :3

 

It's been quite dead here for a while. I've changed the design of this blog in Swedish, and have not had the energy to do the same here, nor to translate my posts and show here. But I'll get too it - I promise! Sad thing is that I don't even know if anyone reads this blog :/ Is it worth continuing?

I quit my 365-project. Here and now. End of story. I am too weak, bad at actually grabbing the bull by the horns and do stuff. A lot of time it's just been documentary/"fuck I haven't taken a picture today!" *snaps a picture of a flower*

Some day when I feel more inspired, full of energy, happy and content with my life I might try again. But now it's not the time for it. I quit. I am just not content with what I've done, I hate half of my pictures in it, and me for going trough and taking them and actually using them in/for this project.

It became something I felt I had to do instead of something I wanted to do, felt inspiration and an urge to do. Sort of like the color project I worked on for a while. Hate myself even more for not completing anything. I should not start projects like that. At least not at this time in my life.

Yep, it's white outside, I recently tasted mulled wine at the convenience store and I've started to plan what I want for christmas, and what to get for others [ok I started planning the second waaay back hah]. It's so much fun to shop for christmas-gifts :3

Also lot's of interior design shops have started to have a lot of christmas-stuff, and my fingers are itching. But no christmasdecorations until december!!

I sat yesterday and watched at a lot of nice pitcures of lovely hairdo's involving braids, so for the dinner with my friends - I tried a new creation out :3 Someone borrowed my camera and took this picture during the evening [edited by me though].

Sigma 24mm f/2.8

A view of the river Tiber, or Fiuma Trevere as it's called in italian. Taken from a bridge leading to Isola Tiberina - a vert very tiny island, with it's own hospital and everything.

 

I',m so freakin' proud of this picture in every aspect!

 

 

Damn sometimes it's too accurate. Bleh!

My makeup from e.l.f has arrived! :D Great to have my concealer again, I've missed it <3 Gonna be nice to test the Face Primer tomorrow too :3

 

 

 

We found one of those claw-machines in Italy, and I saw that one was able to get Super Mario, Luigi and Toad in it. My boyfriend managed to get Toad for me!! Awsome - he's so cute! As a nerd, I am very happy right now :3

Well no, I won't go that far but now we are closing our suitcases, getting ready for the taxi that till arrive shortly and then it's off to the airport and Rome! I will be gone for a week, see you guys later~~!

And with some marshmallows in it - so damn tasty!

I've almost done packing [finually]. My honey is lying in bed, eating chips and watching series while me and my family are running around packing. So, why are we packing one might wonder?

Well, we are going to Rome tomorrow! For one week, and it shall be great! It's a bit warmer there than here, amazing architecture and probably very fashionable people to watch - I will take a lot of photos!

Also, a filmfestival is occuring there right now [it was one when I was in France as well ;)] so maybe some celebrities will be spotted? At least one can wish, right?

Blizzcon 2010 is happening now and my bf bought a ticket so we can watch it live online, so that's what well be doing all weekend and it's just great! We have cola, chips, candy, energydrinks, icecream.. the geekiness is on top!

So far into it, what we've seen - it's great :D Lot's of awsome info <3

I dyed my hair last week. I thought my hair was a bit too many different shades of brown/red/dark in a not so good looking way. So I thought it was time to just have one, even, brown color. Espresso brown sounded nifty to me. However.. I sort of lost track of time and it became a bit darker than planned hah... [Pictures from yesterday & today, therefore different outfits and hairstyles]

It was so nice to have more than one look/set of clothes for our shoot last week!

And not much action in cyberspace, no one is bloggin' or anything. But here I am at 03.11. I've been playing WoW aaall niight loong, it's been lots of fun and went really well -> yes I am a nerd. Server shutdown now though :(

 

I'm not tired and do not feel like going to bed, but what to do now? Watch some ANTM and regret it in the mornign when I sleep for far to long? Skip sleeping and go out and photograph really early tomorrow, during sunrise? But still... what to do for so many hours. Hum..

I did yawn just now so maybe I should give the bed a shot. This is by the way a vert good playlist with gamemusic for us nerds.

Gnite~~!

Today has been a long and boring day infront of the computer [all day?!]... Bleh, so now it's time to go to bed early, don't feel like sitting here any longer. Showing another picture of Emmie + one of her cats, and I wish you all a good night's sleep!

We got up really early last friday [was my bf's birthday and all] - and I saw that there was a quilt of frost covering everything outside, so I put on a lot of warm clothes, had a energydrink and headed out with the camera.

I love this pictures, I am so content with it. Composition, her shoulders/the angle of them [and that the collarbone is visible]. Angle of her head, her expression, those eyes..


Emmies looks are astonishing and inspirational. She's so easy to work with too. She might very well be my muse...

 

Some pictures from my shoot with my friend Emmie - I have a lot left and they're all so good and I am so content! But here's some favourites :3
