We’ve been playing drums and listening to music since I got back from school, now we’re watching the Drummers Collective, drinking glögg with Bach-wine and I’m doing my homework.
Isn’t that a beautiful thursday in Barcelona? :)
Oh, and yes – that is my awesome friend Chema in the video above (shot with my Canon 500D) – he’s been teaching me how to play but I’m not as good as he is.. yet! Haha..

If loving somebody is selfish, if it is a feeling we voluntarily choose to surrender to with the main intention of being able to enjoy being intoxicated by love – a subconscious conclusion for some might be that it in the end doesn’t really matter who the person you choose to give your love to is. As long as there is some kind of attraction and mutual understanding.
So, then, when this person suddenly leaves you in one way or another. Do you cry about the loss of your drug, about being without that feeling, kind of like the way you enjoy crying when watching a sad movie? Or is it actually that one beloved person, the individual with all the qualities and random peculiarities, that you miss?
I mean, if you really think about it, would love me for us, or just for yourself?
Win! I have boarded my flight – and so have my kids! :D
Yesterday was fantastic – my darlings held a goodbyeparty for me and we danced and hugged all night! I’m looking forward to these 2 hours now, ambient music in my ears and SLEEP!
With the help of all the people that donated at the exhibition, ordered photos, bought things through the webpage and sent smses, I managed to collect 12.585kr (1345€) for the kids of the world, through my account at Unicef.
Thank you everybody, this is a beautiful result and we did it together – for the kids! – Tillsammans för Kidsen!
This was a project where I mainly focused on the situation and reality of the children in India through my photography and the photo exhibition that was held in december, the money raised will however go to kids all over the world – and more help and attention is always needed. In other words – the fundraising continues. The account stays open and there is always a possibility to contribute in many ways. The easiest being by sending an sms from a Swedish mobile to 72 900 where you write KÄMPA KIDS.
Tomorrow I’m jumping onto my flight to Barcelona and I’m hoping that the flight attendants at Spanair will let me bring my home-made box with the photos onto the flight.. I’m bringing some of my kids along, their reality deserves to be displayed and acknowledged in more places.. let’s see what happens.
“Love is an expression and assertion of self-esteem, a response to one’s own values in the person of another. One gains a profoundly personal, selfish joy from the mere existence of the person one loves. It is one’s own personal, selfish happiness that one seeks, earns, and derives from love.”
What a great evening. Freshly baked chocolate chip cookies, Commando and Richie & Josie. <3 Commando was so much fun, my favourite part was doubtlessly when he jumps off a lifting jumbojet. Priceless Arnold-monent. Goodnight.

I will miss Malmö a bit – but I’m really looking forward to living and doing my thing in Barcelona. And I’m taking my photos with me!
I’m at the last stage of this project, with most of the orders delivered, the only thing I’m waiting for now is the bill from the printing house so that I can pay and do that last transfer to Unicef and see what numbers the fundraising finally got to :) In a couple of days you will know – however, the account will not be closed so if you still want to contribute, send a text to 72 900 with KÄMPA KIDS from a Swedish mobile and you give 5€ to the children of the world! Or you can buy yourself a little something here. If you don’t live in Sweden and you would like to make simple a transfer with a Creditcard, you can do it here. Dhanyavaad!
