My site has been finally been restored. There was a hardware failure on the server earlier this week, which affected my site. The database powering my blog and my gallery was corrupt. But the support team at Combell (my hosting provider) have done an excellent job at restoring my site.
I’m counting down to the release of Springsteen‘s new album. The album titled Working on a Dream will be released on January 27, 2009. All 12 songs on the album are produced by Springsteen and Brendan O’Brien, and recorded in collaboration with the legendary E-Street Band.
The new single from this forthcoming album is available for download through iTunes. It has a very catchy tune to it. It sounds a lot like a pop recording, while it clearly has a deeper meaning. And hence it builds on the same tradition as his previous albums The Rising and Magic. It has me all excited and looking forward to the release of the album and the upcoming tour.
It snowed today!!! For the first time this winter. It is so funny that we all make a big deal out of frozen water. But anyway… I made a big deal out of it, ran outside and built me a snowman. Well euh… I had a little help from a good friend. We had so much fun in the snow tonight…
2 months of planning and hard work paid off tonight as we closed the very 1st Apertura Expo. We had the pleasure of welcoming almost 300 visitors. Most of them praised our expo and the quality of the works.
And honestly: I am pretty pleased with the expo as well. 13 Apertura members displayed 75 high quality photos. And I am sure that my friends at Apertura all look forward to next year’s expo. Thanks guys! ‘Cause your photos made all my hard work worthwhile.
My work…
As a member of UPI (United Photographers International), I had been invited to enter 5 photos for the 8th Malmo Int’l Exhibition. And they selected 3 of my photos for that exhibition. My first ever international public appearance. And with 3 photos I really like and that mean a great deal to me. A big thank you to my models!
I got a few photos from the exhibition that show my work on display.
These are the actual photos that were on display.
Day 2 of the Apertura Expo was a success. I didn’t even have to leave the car there. Not drunk at all tonight!
2 very young ladies asked if they could join Apertura. We told them they have to be at least be 16 to join. They want to join so badly, that they came up with the idea of starting a junior version of Apertura. They even wrote a 3 page letter to motivate their request. We promised them we will seriously consider their request and discus it with all members. And I think they stand chance if they promise to work really hard.
I just got home from the very first night of the very first Apertura expo. A little drunk and really tired, but pretty happy. Because tonight was a big success! It was better then I expected. Thanks everyone for the hard work and the support!
