I'm so pleased with this shot. The location, the people walking around the car, staring at it, those guys "à la James Dean", ...everything just works perfectly!

These two were such a pleasure to shoot! Really two sweet hearts, I'd love to run into them again some day.
When I asked them about their favorite item, Annika took out of her bag this lovely hand knitted sweater she received from her teacher in Norway during her stay there. It got so hot that day that she ended up taking it off and didn't have it on in the first shot. But as I requested for a 2nd shot of her sweater, she insisted on wearing it.

Notice my backpack on the ground, hiding her shoes....tsk tsk tsk, very unprofessional of me... 

The last shot was a lucky one. I actually wasn't looking through the viewfinder at all and pressed the shutter by mistake as I was setting up the camera.. glad it turned out fine !

Hair: love that half shaved hair style... shaved hair on both guys and girls just does it for me

Saw this fun pair struggling to ride .... what should you call it.... a 2 side-by-side seats bike???
They apparently made it themselves and were very much convinced that this would be the next hit.

I was less impressed when they nearly ran into me as I walked away after my shot.
I could hear one of them shouting "Turn right, right, riiiight!!!!!" and they were headed straight towards me, on their left.... AMAAAAZING :)
This totally made my day!
