My annual trip to India got delayed as I moved from Norway to Germany to work for Crytek. Which meant I finally got to go back home for New Years after 5 years!!! Also this year I was there for two weeks instead of the usual three weeks. Which meant I did not get time to take much photos. Too busy with life and stuff.

In other new Crysis 2 MP demo for the 360 starts on the 25th of Jan, and there is a new trailer out today.

Paid the rent, sent satish a mail, sent olve a message.

Completed Prince of Persia…FINALLY!!! the game gets better towards the end.

Site is back up. I managed to first kill all the outgoing links and then kill all the stats as well. Took some time to figure out that the .htaccess was borked. Took this oppurtinity to do some major cleanup on the site as well.

Tried to buy a used 100/2 for the OM, but failed…i dont want any more OM body. Two is enough…but he refused to sell just the lens. Sigh.

Dug thu some old stuff from 2006 and found these. They were taken in Goa, India. By some strange luck all of us had vacation/holidays of some sort. After years of failing we managed to do the “Goa Trip”.

Looking at the pics i realized that i am not really happy with the stuff i shoot now. Cant point at what i dont like.

Photos are in no particular order. Shot on the Pany FZ5 which is with my dear sister now(see you can make good photos with the pany)and Agfa 535 with some cheap film(stole the camera from my dad and still with me).

I find this one very *India*…i have seen photos taken by my dad which looks the same

Frank was the the local, his mom has a house next to the beach.

Back in India i could do this, here in Oslo, not so sure

Majorda beach, goa. This where we spent a week.
