Winter Time

Winter is my favorite time of the year. I am one of the few that love it when the days grow shorter, the sun more scare and the days cold and snowy. However there is not much snow anymore just cold. This is one of my favorite photos from a few years ago. Taken in Oslo on a very cold and snowy day. It was -20 C on this day but I just had to get this shot and made the whole family suffer.

Birthdays

Birthdays are a time of celebration. So many people don't like celebrating their birthdays but I think that whatever age you are there is a great reason to celebrate. Each year you are alive and have new memories to recall is cause for celebration. In our family birthdays are celebrated with cake, champagne and presents in bed, that is a great start to the day. So raise a glass and toast another year of being alive. Happy Birthday. Gratulerer med dagen.

Looking forward looking back

Happy New Year
Another year has passed, so many great memories behind us and so many new ones to be created. Think good thoughts and good things will happen. My motto for the year
The way you do anything is the way you do everything

Foot surgery

All I can think about is sitting on the beach with ice cream and drinks.I just had foot surgery, and don't let anyone tell you it does not hurt because it hurts like hell. I am not a person that likes to sit around so this is a test of patience. Gives me time to re organize all my photos, though the pain pills are so strong they make my brain fuzzy. It is nice to waited on but it also makes you realize how much nicer it is to be able to wait on other people. Like the old saying it is better to give than to receive.

Longing for Summer
On this very cold day (-15C) here in Kansas City I was cleaning up my images and updating all my various websites and I found myself drawn to images of warm and beachy weather longing for a relaxing day on the beach with a drink in hand. Instead I sit in my studio with electric blanket and coco in hand watching the snow.
Happy Winter

Black and White and Merry all over

The holiday season is all about the kids and being a kid again yourself. It is a great time to get pictures of the little ones, big ones, old ones and four legged ones. A picture is something you can come back to time and time again and see new things, remember new things, it is priceless

Holiday season approaching

The holiday season is fast approaching signaling another year gone by and a time to look back at the year and see if it was all you hoped it would be. It seems the holiday time comes upon us faster for each year that passes. I vow to keep things simple this year. No extravagant gifts, no big holiday mailing, just time spent with family and friends. Time spent with people is far more precious than any gift it provides memories for years to come. So as this holiday season approaches that is my motto "less is more"
I did have to go out and get the holiday photo taken, the card that goes out to friends and family. This is an out take from today's photo adventure with the girls.
