105: Google search terms EDIT

Added a portrait of the model/photographer Sofia A

After reading Siljas Blogg I had to check what people are looking for on the Internet.
On google.com/trends you can see popular search terms.
I found a blog (Source: http://hd.se/mer/2007/10/19/den-som-soeker-skall-finna-kate/) on the internet where there was a list of the most popular search terms around the world.

Sex — Egypten, Indien, Turkiet.
Hitler — Tyskland, Mexiko, Österrike.
Nazi — Chile, Australien, Storbritannien.
Gay — Chile, Mexiko, Colombia.
Jihad — Marocko, Indonesien, Pakistan.
Terrorism — Pakistan, Filippinerna, Australien.
Hangover (baksmälla) — Irland, Storbritannien, USA.
Burrito (mexikansk snabbmat) — USA, Argentina, Kanada.
Irak — USA, Australien, Kanada.
Taliban — Pakistan, Australien, Kanada.
Tom Cruise — Kanada, USA, Australien.
Britney Spears — Mexiko, Venezuela, Kanada.
Homosexual (homosexuell) — Filippinerna, Chile, Venezuela.
Love — Filippinerna, Chile, Venezuela.
Botox — Australien, USA, Storbritannien.
Viagra — Italien, Storbritannien, Tyskland.
David Beckham — Venezuela, Storbritannien, Mexiko.
Car bomb (bilbomb) — Australien, USA, Kanada.
Marijuana — Kanada, USA, Australien.
Kate Moss — Irland, Storbritannien, Sverige.

I wonder why we in Sweden are so interestde in Kate Moss? According to Google Sweden the most popular search term is not Kate Moss.
Anyway if you want some one to read your blog now you have an idea what you should write about to interest different cultures.
It'll be fun to see how many hits this entry will get.

104 The project continues

Maybe I got stuck on the shapes, shadows and light in this building?
Maybe I found it's soul?
Anyway these are the kind of pictures I find myself taking most of.
Maybe a bit more of grain?

103: Morning walk and candid portrait

The first picture I show you today was taken during a morning walk with my 500 C/M just after I bought it.

The second picture is a candid shot during a swim meet in march 2005. I just could not resist taking this shot of one of the competitors during one of the long periods of waiting during the meet.

I don't know what it was that made me push the shutterreleas. The sadness in her eyes, the sun in her red hair?
Anyway I think it's a nice shot

102: Project pictures

I'm working on selecting the pictures for the upcoming exhibitions. I don't know yet if any of these will be chosen.

This picture is colorised using spilttoning.

Converted to B&W

101 Chrocheted

I helped my wife with some pictures for her business. In case you missed she has a yarnstore on S:t Paulsgatan 20. (http://www.mariasgarn.se/)
old gallery which is great for me since I can show some of my pictures there. They also add to the atmosphere of the store I think.
The pictures below are for a workshop in chrocheting. The pieces i photographed are made by Maria Gullberg.
