…new, exiting, challenging and refreshing things come into your life to replace all the things that have been worn out…even if not all of them.
It helps along the way, I suppose… I just wish all that of the old, worn out things in one’s life could be easily replaced.
varför min blogg heter som den heter och varför jag kallar mig själv Luckypunk
Varför min blogg heter “This freakshow called my life” förklarar jag här
Varför jag signerar inläggen och kommentarer som “Luckypunk” skrev jag om här
and the couch too!
I get the key to my Photo studio!
We can begin to paint and decorate it!

18€.
I think I’ll get back there tomorrow and buy it!
I ‘ll suggest that you take a look here
He poped up on my Flickr Photostream a few months ago and made some nice comment on my photos. I didn’t checked out his stream right away ( witch I should have) , but he came back whenever I uploaded a new photo a commented on the ones he liked. I then checked his stream and I only have a word to describe what I saw:
Beauty.
I was and still am speechless every time I open his Flikr site. Please go and take the tour.
I don’t get many comments on my pictures, and the fact that someone as talented and gifted as him would take the time to look at my work and give me feedback transcends me.
Talented, kind, humble and unpretentious…I guess it’s not a myth…
…has this book been so much in my mind as these last months. I guess it’s no use to read it when you’re 20 years old, witch I did…You have to live to understand it.
…but you can’t take the Freakshow out of the girl…
First day on vacation on our way to Kalmar, 2 weeks ago.
is it a photography book?
is it “Getting things done”?
is it Photoshop tutorials?
no…laugh if you want but…
I’ll tell you more about it later…I’ve only read 48 pages so far. It’s in english so I read a bit slower, and the matter is quite so deep, I don’t want to rush through it.
Oprah said it’s good, so it must be good. Oprah don’t lie…everybody knows that…
(all right, she might lie about her weight sometimes, but I’ll turn a blind eye on that. I think I’ve done the same once or twice)
is Fredrik Wellander. A while ago, I was advised to get a mentor, a photographer, who’s been in the business for some time and could lead me into the photographic business world to spare me from mistakes and illusions . My mind went directly to Fredrik. He takes beautiful and arty pictures on everyday things, on every day life… like mirrors of emotions and spontaneity. Just as I think photography should be. Of course we all strive for a master piece once in a while, but taking pictures every day and getting them to reflect what’s most beautiful in ugliness, most interesting in the most boring routine of our lives is an accomplishment not everybody is up to.
…There was only one problem. I had never met him, only read his blog regularly and mailed him once with a technical question. I waited a few weeks and finally gained courage to mail him and ask if he would have the time or the disposition to help me along the way…
He responded immediately saying that it was a matter of course and that he would like to meet me in Stockholm. So we did. For about a week and a half ago.
Fredrik was the boost of enthusiasm and positive energy I needed. While everybody so far has pointed at the difficulties, he pointed at the possibilities. He gave me so much in three hours that I almost felt sorry for not writing everything down. He has plans and projects going on and is kind enough to offer me a place in it. He is really more, much more than what I ever imagine a mentor could be…and he also did something I ‘ll never be able to thank him enough for. He helped me regain some faith in the way I see humanity by showing how approachable and honest someone you never met can be. Authentic …as authentic as a copy of the fredrik I imagined by reading his blog. I really felt like I knew him already…and the best of it all is that my husband hos is the most sceptical person I know when it comes to Internet and social networking and friendship could also witness how giving and rewarding it is, as well as how many wonderful persons you get to know, witch would almost be impossible otherwise.
So, thank you Fredrik! THANK YOU!
No, it’s not me. It’s one of my sources of inspiration Jonas Petterson, who has started his own business as a Photografer at the same time as me, only on the other side of the world: Down under.
He’s moving from the Advertising world to the Photographic world and from Sidney to Brisbane. He’s already a very successful Copywriter and I’m sure he’s going to be a successful Photographer. He just needs to get the word out there, although I’m convince that it would be enough to get his photos out there: They’re just as magic and inspiring as they can get. Go and take a look.
Keep up the good work Jonas, and I’ll even wish you good luck, because that never hurts, but I strongly believe your talent will be all you need!
I’m sitting here trying to decide what to write about…first:
My vacation
My brother’s birthday?
This exiting new book I’m reading from the Oprah book club.
My wonderful meeting with my mentor?
My meeting with the bank?
My new acquisitions for the photo studio
My first experience as a wedding photographer in Sweden, last Friday ?
How everything is happening so fast and so easy that I barely dare to believe or enjoy it?
How guilty I feel about it when 2 of my friends are experiencing the exact opposite?
How I barely have had the time to read your blogs or look at your pictures on Flickr or Facebook.
How fast the bloging habits vanish the moment real life gets to tought…or demanding…or exiting.
How I miss your feed back here…
How I miss to clear my thoughts here, God knows they’re a mess…although I’m not a mess…for a change. I’m focused and organized for the first time in a very long time.
So I’ll take it one step at the time and may have some power- bloging period now ,so we get on the right page.
