Dogs

I love dogs. I prefer bigger dogs. Tiny dogs are more like rats. I found people dressing their dogs ridiculous but after seeing dogs shivering I reckon clothes are quit good, especially for poor dogs who isn't supposed to be living in a freezing country like sweden. When I shot the model Sam in Australia he told me and my assistant a story about a woman walking her tiny dog along the water front, suddenly this shark jumps up and eats it. I just found it so unbelievably hilarious. I can still laugh my heart out about it today 1,5 years later. There are so many tiny dogs in the building I'm living in, I'm scared to kill them by stepping on them or whilst closing the door. Today I read a blogg post about something similar, it still gets me laughing. You can read it here (swedish)!

Roma Rodeo

In 2007 I lived in Australia. I went to Australia on my own, to study, without knowing anyone over there, down under. It became a giant life experience. Anyhow...

The coolest thing and most unreal thing in Australia was when Katie (Irish classmate) and I went to Roma in Queensland for the annual International Rodeo Competition during easter. It took us two days by car there, giant road trains (GIANT! trucks with stuff or animals), desert, jackaroos along the road. Everything and everywhere else I saw or met in Australia felt or looked like something I've already seen - on the news or internet or something before I came there. But that road trip. Wow. Just amazing. And the rodeo. We got there, I bought a hat in kangaroo skin. Everyone there was wearing shirts, jeans, boots and hats. Everyone. And horses and dogs everywhere. Unreal. Just freaking unreal. But wonderful in a weird kinda way.

Here's some of the pics I took:
