ROOM WITH A VIEW

In a skylift 35 meters up i the air above Stockholm I wasn´t really feeling very tough or secure!
But it was a beautiful evening and the view over Slussen and Södermalm was fantastic! Even more fantastic was the fact the
artist KG Nilson could stand and pose for more than 40! minutes in his fantastic studio high up on the top floor of Södermalmstorg 4.
These 170 square meters in the attic comprise what is probably one of Stockholms most famous dwellings. The Taube family has resided here once upon a time.
The view of the city from the spectacular window is just out of this world. The "peeping tom" view, from a skylift high above, took my breath away as I shot the scene for Dagens Industris Weekend Magazine.
And for those who want to "get the whole picture" get a copy of Weekend on Friday the 10th of february 2006 .

OLIVE PRINCESS DI LUCA

It was a great experience meeting the Di Luca family at their new office in Danvikstull, on the outskirts of Stockholm.
The Di Luca family are one of the finest importers of olive oil and other Italian specialty food products to Sweden.
CEO of Di Luca & Di Luca, Gabriella became an olive princess in the pictures I took of her during friday afternoon.
With some help from her friends - and most of all from her sister Paula we made her look great with the help of a thick cardboard photopaper carton lid and about 7 kilos of finest Cerignola olives, washed and gently spread out around a cutout hole with her face inside!
The story about the Di Luca family will run in the flashy Weekend magazine of Scandinavias largest and best economic daily newspaper Dagens Industri.
The result?!! Read all about it on Friday the 3rd of february 2006. JM
