En fin fin smyginledning på London OS.... i närbelägna Coventry. Jag med flera undrade vem som varit "kreativ koreograf" till Sveriges  "ramla i en enda stor hög efter varje mål" föreställning... Fyra gånger fick vi se den varianten igår kväll... o glädjen visste inga gränser... vilken pangstart för det svenska laget i fotbollsturneringen... :)
Annars kom ju den stora snackisen från Glasgow... och den något pinsamma incidenten där Sydkoreanska flaggan av misstag hissades vid Nordkoreanska lagets inmarsch till matchen mot Colombia... Nordkoreas lag vände och lämnade planen....men kom tillbaka efter någon timme och vann sin inledningsmatch med 2-0.

Centrecourt Final

Valentina played the doubles final with Alahra on centrecourt of the Pat Rafter Arena at Tennyson in Brisbane. Valentina and Alarha came second in the 14/U White tournament
at the Rod Laver !

Kangaroo golf

Valentina and I took the afternoon off from the Rod Laver tennis tournament and went to golf at the Lakeside Golf course in Helensvale. This golf course has natural living obstacles. We saw more than forty kangaroos and had a great afternoon!
Valentina played very well and even shot this ball onto the green without touching a single roo!!!

THE SLEEPOVER PARTY

Keeping eyes on you! Valentinas 10 year birthday bash was one of a kind. Eight girly girls
had a sleepover party. Here the birthday gang is seen or rather not seen with their flourescent
glasses on just before the singing and dancing contest got under way around 8 pm!!
What a party!! Happy birthday Valentina!

DRY SUBMARINE

Erich Lammers cleans the outside of a submarine at the Kockums shipyard in Karlskrona Sweden. Apart from designing and building top secret military vessels the Kockums shipyard restores older subs in dry docks. In this case the submarine is meant for a foreign nation.
I shot the story of the Karlskrona shipyard for Dagens Industri , Swedens leading business daily.

QUEEN OF CRIME

It was great fun doing a photoshoot on Camilla Läckberg, famous swedish crime writer. Her own backyard became a crime scene as she lay on the green grass , like sleeping beauty, with a kitchen knife protruding from her heart. Well under her arm anyway...seconds after she was laughing her head off ...read the interview in Dagens Industri WEEKEND edition.
