Thoughts about life as I know it today...

Life seem a little bit to fond of playing with me, or at least my mind likes it. I don't, just to be clear. All things seem to happen at the same time, but hey I love it when it does, but you can never be careless, ever. Slightest slip and you'll be dragging your sorry little ass back! So how do you learn to live with everything at the same time? Not relying on someone to always be there except you? Where do you find yourself in all the chaotic and calm thunderstrom in your cup?

I have to tell you, working for my father is always interesting, I literally grew up with antique stuff, that led me to start thinking about interior designs and that maybe baroque, rococo, art nouveau (jugend for swedish people), or maybe art deco should suit my home? Wanting my first old vintage corset (from the c. 1800) when I was 11 and the dresses, the shoes, the just pure art in what became what I'll be working with. As always having the fortune of looking at things that are extraodrinary, it's just a swell! I still haven't got my real 1800 vintage rare corset, but the dream is alive, yet! I know I love antique furniture, architechture, clothing - there's a history in every antique object that I see...

Look at your young man fighting, Look at your women crying, Look at your young men dying, The way they've always done before...

Tonight I sat down with a cup of tea (oh, yes I know I shouldn't drink any tea after 4 p.m. but this is decaffinated) and some magazines to look at what I had to see over for a photosession in the begging of june, I'll promise you it'll be funny and not anything I've done before. Alot is going through my mind, I know a lot of things we could use, and maybe I will ask my father to borrow a thingy, I won't tell you what it is, but any of you who knows what my father does for a living can fastly figure it out. I'm telling you, having something like his stuff in a session would be a blast! He has some stuff I'd like to use... Maybe...


I had an amazing thought the other day, regarding my fathers things, you wouldn't belive what he has sometimes... I would like to do a fashion/decadent/poison photoshoot, with bugs, spiders, old fashioned candelabras and just do it fashion, I know it's been done, but not with the eyes I would be using and the others I work with. Nothing really gothic, but something that's been trashed through mud and eating food in a very decadent way, I just had that thought. I don't know if I will ever do it, but it would be fun, using old linnen cloths and spilt wine...



It's a crappy shot, but I love things that look like this...
