A Summer Night with my Best Friend's!
One night this summer with my Martina and her Dear Johan Miderberg. Eating lunch with rose wine and strawberries. Eating dinner with red wine. Talking about life and how we want it to turn out, our way of life and how we want to ride it together.
The night was an important one for me, i was devastated that day but after a couple of hours, I forgot! I enjoyned the company So Much.
love to you my darlings.

Mannen i den Vita Hatten ( 16 years later) by Kent!
one of my Favorite Songs ever, makes me cry, it reminds me of someone very special to my heart. Too of my neverending fear of life and my ever bigger fear of dying.
A bench in a restless late april
I look over my shoulder and I see you blink
I can have you whenever I want
A wind blows trash through the corridor one last time
and you and I hold our breaths and hold hands in the leap
Home is not so far away
There were still thousands of tears left
They were yours to give to whoever
always
They were the most precious jewels you have
So never apologise again
finally
We pass their borders
Do you remember what we promised?, our law?
Our stupid crusade against our just as silly town
I remember it all like nails against glass
But you just laughed at me, diminished it all to a joke
But I can see by your nervous state of mind and your hunted look that it's felt
that home is far away
Soon there are no tears left
They were ours to give to whoever
at last
They are the most precious jewels we have
so never apologise again
at last
you setting your own borders
And that boy I never knew
Who walked streets I never saw
And thought thoughts I never thought
Under a thin and wispy hair
And all the feelings hit and exploded
the whole weekday full of holes
in a time when nothing happened
in a city that always slept
But darling we were all once so small
yes, we were all so small
yes, we were all once small
I throw stones in my house of glass
I throw darts in my incubator
And so I grow my fear
yes, I constantly sow new seeds
and in my greenhouse I am safe
there jealosy grows clear and green
I am so afraid of living
and deadly afraid of dying
But darling, we will all die
yes, we will all die
yes, sometime we will all die
We're all gonna die.
We are all gonna die.
We are all gonna die.

Edward Steichen (1879–1973) is one of the most important figures in the history of photography. During his career he was renowned as an artist, fashion photographer, curator, writer, and technical innovator. He was also a passionate advocate for photography as an art form, and led an aesthetic revolution that enabled photography to be considered as a medium capable of interpretation and expression.
Steichen took up photography at the age of sixteen, he was self-taught. In his early career he was associated with a style known as Pictorialism. The Pictorialists felt that the aesthetic promise of photography lay in an emulation of painting. His early work produced thereby "painterly" soft-focus effects.
In 1905 he founded the famous Little Galleries of the Photo Secession at 291 Fifth Avenue in New York (later the 291 Gallery) to promote photography as an art form. Steichen soon came under the spell of the new art movements with their abstract geometries, he gradually abandoned his Pictorialism in favor of straight photography with a strong sense of design and clean, uncluttered images and compositions. Steichen went on to command the photographic division of the U.S. Expeditionary Forces in World War I, and to direct the Naval Photographic Institute in World War II. During the 1920s and 1930s he worked as a commercial photographer for Condé Nast publications including Vogue and Vanity Fair, and from 1947–1962 he was Director of the Department of Photography at the Museum of Modern Art in New York.

Purple Magazine
is one of my favorite magazines. I am just loving the "real" feeling I get from the human beings they feature. Too love all the interviews at the back of the magazine, always highly interesting people that has accomplished something (or rather a lot) in their lives in the various fields they come from.
A couple of years ago when I was in Paris was the time I fell in Love with this Journal. Just loving the feeling of Unretouched faces and bodies. At the time I was So tired of everything looking so perfect everywhere. I started to document myself, how a "real" person looks like since that day I bought the issue, It's an ongoing project.
Anyhow, the new Purple is soon coming to a store near you and here is the cover, shot by Mario Sorrenti with Kate Moss and Mr. Sorrenti himself. Cool as Always!! Just what once can can expect from Mr. Olivier Zham.
