Christmas Presents!

It is almost Christmas even here in the warm of Egypt. I am doing my best in trying to get into the Christmas spirit with Mulled wine (Glögg as we call it in Sweden), Christmas music and I find that Christmasy herbs help as well you know cinnamon, cloves etc. that combination of scent makes me think of Christmas.
Have you bought all your Christmas presents yet? I have started to receive a few Christmas cards now. I received one from my dad today and it took less than 2 weeks for it to arrive amazing otherwise 1 month is common to get things to Egypt similar when I send things as well. I sent my mum a birthday present for her birthday which is now over a month ago and she has still not received it maybe we can call it a Christmas present instead if it arrives in the next 8 days.
If you are still short on ideas for Christmas presents I can recommend Wall Art and 2011 Calendars. Please take a look at the ones I have on Red Bubble for inspiration.
I just spoke to a client yesterday that received hers by mail that she had bought at Red Bubble and she loved the quality of the images.
Thanks again Eva for buying my images at Red Bubble I appreciate that and it gives me great inspiration.

Birds are magnificent creatures

Hi there!
Today I saw a Pigeon Hawk chasing a Pigeon it was a very noisy flight but quite magnificent to see in a way. To see first hand how life evolves in the wilderness and not only happens on the Discovery Channel. I did however watch something very fascinating yesterday on the Discovery Channel about fish! But that is another story all together. Of course I did not have my camera at hand to shoot some frames so that I would have something to show you guys.... Murphy's Law isn't it?
Yesterday I also wished I had my camera with me I think I need to start to carry it around with me at all times! I walked down for lunch and on the way I saw an eagle sitting not more than 5 meters away from me I would have had a great opportunity to get some great close ups. Of course it later on flew away once I got closer but wow are they great birds of pray to watch them fly they look so graceful.
I am having a busy week of events photography so I have made sure I got all my gear sorted out there is one last thing I need to get done after I publish this and it is to clean my camera sensor and format one of my cards then I will be all set. 
Yesterday I got my bookmarks from the printers and if I may say so myself I am very happy with them! But then of course I have done the design and taken the images LOL so I guess I better like them. Don't you agree?

I have made personal bookmarks so I have had a specific person in mind when making them so using images that I think would be suitable for them either with them in an image or with places they have been to or I know they like etc. So takes a bit of creative searching in trying to get the image I feel would be perfect for just that person. But I then also hope that the receiver  of the bookmark also would enjoy it even more. We will see how well that goes only time can tell.

A sneak preview for you of them.

A great gift that is perfect for posting (snail mail) to your friends and family living far away since they weigh next to nothing.
