ville picking up some bad chips

friday, funcom roof, coffee break






on my way to oslo city to meet up with olve and maja

free chocolate at oslo city…

the plan was to goto Jacobs at holtet which is a village outside oslo (so says the wiki)

the girls spotted a flea market…where i found this

all the stuff was 80s

also found an alien

nice pants…i did mention it was a village

this is where i picked up some awesome russian glasses for 25nok

all done…we went to Jacobs…while the others bought food…i bought ice cream and dessert

heading back home…this pic is how they are…maja is the serious one…while olve is the crazy one(compared to other norwegians)…works pretty well

it was cold and cloudy

4 for 25 nok…

oh yes

how to make prawns pulao…onions + potatoes + prawns

saute onions + garlic + ginger + pepper + red chillies + salt

add prawns + salt + coriander

add potatoes + salt + turmeric

add 1 cup water + simmer fpr 20 mins [This is now a Bhaji]

If the Bhaji had gravy and could be poured over rice then it would be a Curry
Masala = Spices
Bhaji = dry dish, is a side dish
Curry = wet dish, is poured over rice
Pulao = when rice is cooked with stuff


take the bhaji and mix with rice and cook [This is now a Pulao]

Biryani is a kind of pulao
Biryani is NOT a curry

all this because in the canteen they had written Biryani Curry in the menu…so much for ignorance


can you figure out what i am watching?

another roll of tmax, this time with the om2 + 35-70/4. Chose the om2 and set it to aperture priority as i would have to zoom with the lens. I am not good at multitasking when it comes to cameras, hence all the prime lenses. This roll turned out better than the earlier one…even though its pushed by 2 stops and shot with an average lens…i love my lab.

saw this in the pizza section in ICA…the packaging was green

one of these days i will ride a trolley down this

picking up some sushi…because i go there at least once a week…she knows my order and also sometimes i get an extra sushi

waiting for the sushi…cheap lighting from IKEA

these two frames with the 50/1.8. Inside rockin…dont like this place…but most places in oslo are like this…dark and black.

the angry one…the other one is blond and the other one is blue

alex papping me

while i papp ville

heading back to work after picking up some coffee…no not me…i dont drink coffee

outside ICA

trying the zuiko 100/2.8 on the 5D. I did not want to splurge money on a ef 100/2, so i bought this adapter that lets me use my zuiko lenses with the 5d. The lens is fantastic, even at 2.8 and renders quite differently from the ef lenses. Or maybe its all placebo.

got the adapter in this…all the stamps have dogs on them…i died a bit

testing the lens

this is what i use to pixel peep…kidding

view outside the bathroom

at work…alex
