Introducing: Titan

Titan, affectionately known as "Fur Bomb", is actually my girlfriend's cat but as we now live together, he is eligible for submissions as well. He is a Turkish Van (with two yellow eyes(!)) and his hobbies include chasing hair bands (He plays fetch with them. Do normal cats play fetch? I think not.), drinking water from the shower nozzle until he throws up, sleeping on top of Anna's old rickety display case (one of these days he's gonna fall through the top, I swear) and shedding. All the hairs you see on the carpet, he put there. He is petrified of the vacuum cleaner and he absolutely hates the dish washer. He is very chatty and loves it when you brush him.

Everybody say Hi to Titan!

Roses

An old shot of mine has been at the back of my head for a while - I took this one in November 2005(!). Through a stroke of luck (or possibly conspiracy), a tip in a Photoshop book I received from Amazon last week combined with an impromptu competition on a Swedish Photoshop blog made me finally sit down with this one and finish it off, once and for all. (Click it to view the larger size.)

Since no-one else has bothered with a shot from the lunar eclipse over the weekend, I will. This was shot in Stockholm, Sweden, using a Nikon D70 on a tripod. ISO 200, exposed for 2 s at f/6.3 using a Tamron 28-300 mm lens at full length.

A taste of summer

After meeting a fellow food blogger and her husband for lunch in Stockholm last summer, I took a long stroll with my trusty Nikon. I caught these, slightly weathered, daisies along the way.

Since I am cat-less at the moment, my first post will have to be of another subject. This was taken at the release party for Swedish band Adolphson & Falk's new album in October last year, in anticipation of the evening's gig.
