As promised!

I did promise yesterday that I would try to become better at updating my blog and to post more photos. This is the third post in less than 15 hours, so you might think that I'm overdoing it now instead... ;) Well, so be it! I used up the entire day yesterday photographing with my Canon Digital IXUS 60 (a compact camera). Of course the photos aren't as good as they could have been with a better camera, say a DSLR-camera (digital single-lens reflex camera). My dream (and plan) is to buy a Nikon D80 in a not too distant future.

Anyway. Here are some of the photos from yesterday.

I will probably head out again today, snapping away a bit more... Until then!

Hmm...

I just realised that for someone who loves photography, I share very few photos in my blog... I'll try to better myself in this field as well.

Wow...

I’ve been pretty lousy at maintaining this blog, haven't I? For a number of reasons I just haven't been bothered to write anything, but I will try to better myself. Well... Here goes...

My reasons for not writing for over two months(!):

- It's summer... I know that is a pretty bad excuse, especially since it's been a pretty bad excuse for a summer. It's mainly been raining. In Britain they blamed Rihanna for the rain, due to her number one hit Umbrella. It was also number one in Sweden, so I guess it's her fault? (Just kidding! We all now who's really to blame...?)

- I've been feeling a bit down and out for a while. As you know I have been searching for a job for quite some time now, while trying to finish my thesis. Unfortunately I'm still unemployed, but at least I've finished my thesis. I'm presenting in eight days, so from the 21st of August, I will be able to title myself "Master of Transportation Systems". Cool, huh? ;)

- I have been working on my presentation. It shouldn't have taken this long, but when you're a perfectionist... ;)

- I've been making up reasons for not writing another pointless and boring post, but here I am! ;D

- I have been applying for jobs and trying to convince my lovely Christina to do the same, as she is chronically bored at her own job. I've actually gone on a couple of interviews since the last time and I really, really, really hope to go forth in one of the processes... That job would suit me like a... Suit I guess?

So those are my reasons... They're not good reasons, but they are reasons... ("And the reasons? Who needs reasons when you've got heroin?" - Ewan McGregor in Trainspotting) (Disclaimer: Remember kids, drugs are bad... Don't do them!)

I forgot the greatest reason! (Not great as in Great! but more as in big...) I've been sucked into Facebook! Oh my god! I tried to resist, but I was overpowered by the demons of Facebook who lured me into their midst with promises of wealth, zombies and a widened network... So I got hooked... And that's fine! I "met" quite a few old friends there, and it's nice to get back in touch with people that you haven't seen or heard from in years and years... I've also discovered lots of groups of various importances for the world and me, but that gives me an oddly satisfied feeling... "There are more people like me in the world!" might be an appropriate expression right now... Only today I joined three groups that are all aimed at sharing photos and photo tips with other amateurs and professionals. So it's cool... Just as long as you don't let Facebook dictate your life.

Well... This was just an attempt to make up for lost time and a low posting frequency, but there you go! I hope to see you out on the information highway soon again, but I guess that's up to me? ;) Until I post again!
