The Lightroom

The darkroom of David Feldt

I am in Seattle!

I am in Seattle now, arrived on friday after a 20 hour flight from Stockholm to Amsterdam, Amsterdam to Seattle. With a crew change in Hartford, Connecticut. Waited in Hartford for 2 hours. Landed 5 hours late, headed strait to the taxi (which wasn’t easy to find). And then of to Howe’s resident on Mercer Island. They were having a BBQ with some other guests. Had some dinner and went to bed after being awake for 26 hours. Woke up at 4 am but managed to go back to sleep. Woke again around 8:30 am after some noise outside. It was the hydroplanes that were starting their tests and runs. At 2:00 pm the Blue Angels did a airshow. Nice and noisy, took around 140 pics. Uploaded a few to my flickr account.

I am going to be better at blogging while i am in Seattle and also upload pics to Flickr.

Bought an extra battery for my camera and 2 extra 4GB CF-cards.

Tomorrow, we are going out sailing.

See ya later!

Sport fanatic

If you are like me an small sport fanatic with a craving for sportresults. And when you can’t find the right page for live results, it can be a bit frustrating.

My main resource for soccer news is the RSS feeds for:

With my mobilephone i surf to:

When i am not home or not able to see a game on TV but i am online i go to Sportbladet LIVE. Why? Because it has the nicest interface.

There are other services like:

One very nice site i just stumbled on is: Yahoo Sports UK & Ireland - Eurosport . It will go in to my bookmarks.

Fotbollskanalen.se is one of the sites i definitly wouldn’t recommend. It’s too much information and pics in the same place. And where is the liveresults? Plain YUCK!!

Robert Capa

Went to the photo exhibition of Robert Capa called ‘Images of war and peace’. The pictures are awesome and is worth coming back and see them again. Bought 2 books in the museum shop. It was a really ‘heavy’ book called ‘Robert Capa, the definitive collection and a less heavier book by Henri Cartier-Bretton called ‘The mind’s eye’.

Should be some nice inspiration for a phototrip.

The sun is always shining above clouds

…except when it’s night. As the title implies, you should travel more if you want to see the sun. Came home from Karlskrona yesterday, worked at the Naval Museum and fixed some cashier machines. Spent the evening at home watching Black Adder CD#2, emptying a box of wine with my friend.

Woke up with a slight hangover. :)

This could get into a habit

Well i could get used to blog from my mobile phone. This is very cool. Sitting in a bar having a stout and blog a bit.

Let’s talking about me running around between 3 photo stores. I was first at Schoernherrs, dropping of my rolleicord for check-up. Then i went to Kungsholmen and Norr Mälarstrand where Scandinavian Photo is. Checked out some Manfrotto tripods. And squeezed at some Crumpler bags, left after 10 mins.
And my next stop was Foto & Video in the center of town. Found a nice tripod called Manfrotto 190MF4, felt light and mobile. It felt easier than my regular tripod. Just gonna check how much it cost. And i found a crumpler bag that i liked and it cost 1295 SEK. Well i put that right back where it were and left. I want a new light tripod and a new backpack for my upcomming trip.

Speaking of that, I need to order a plane ticket, hotelrooms in Rome and Venice, film for the camera (approx 15-20), train tickets to venice. And i think i have to email my hotel in venice and ask if i need to bring ‘Wellis’.
