Adios 2017..

This year has sped away passed me, last time I checked it was August and I was starting with my Swedish lessons now it's the end of the year and I don't even understand Swedish any better than when I started out. Oh well
Here's a quick recap of the 365 days gone by.

Kicked off the year in Fjätervålen 
 2016 was kicked off on the beach .. how times have changed
Anyways was pretty awesome watching fireworks outside in -death degrees.

Otto the Volvo
We got Otto the Volvo for Hugo and Hanna who's now suddenly afraid of the dark.. 
Even with the great and highly efficient public transport system here having a car around is pretty useful, We now do more random little outings whether it's to find new spots to walk the dog or just shopping.

Got some serious travelling in​

Cape Town | Johannesburg
Always have to make the trip home

Studies
I became a student again. not a good one but I'm back at it, Monday to Friday sitting in class taking notes and learning Swedish. Anyways figured out what works and doesn't for me, ready to tackle the course again in the new year.

Business is BOOMING
​Did some nice numbers this year, referrals and return clients are great, website by itself is still so/so, not 100% where I think It could be in terms of bringing in business but still it's way way way way better than what it used to be. So no real complaints there.

Photography 
Shooting 100% on manual now, next step is shooting raw and learning about editing techniques.
Below are some of my favourite pics from this year.

Visitors

Conrad was supposed to visit but bailed out, luckily we met up in LA for a day.
Jacques was in town so managed to meet up with him.
Simone popped in with her friends. Hadn't seen her in a minute so pretty awesome to hangout with her in Stockholm of all places.

Reto came through for my birthday weekend.


All in all, not bad, always awesome seeing faces I know that aren't from Sweden.

Still recovering..
