I had a couple of questions yesterday and today on some equipment — plus the always flattering “how the hell did you do that” comments — so I just thought I post quickly some pointers. Somebody asked on my cardreader… Yes, it is three Lexar readers daisy-chained together using the FW-800 port on my MBP; the fourth one …
Lots of stuff happening. Cool stuff, interesting stuff — things I’d love to write about it — and I will, promise — but right now I am just drowning in things to do.
It has been pretty hectic two weeks. Long hours. I came here almost directly from Garmish (Alpine WC) and maybe the first time ever, I really felt tired couple of days to the extend that I think it affected my performance. Hopefully it was just a fleeting feeling — and nobody really noticed… ;-)
(Just updated the small image gallery I’ve been keeping from here) Two nights ago, I go to cover the prize ceremony of the men’s X‑country 15km race here in Oslo. Matti Heikkinen is the first man to win this title in 12 years in Finland — so it’s big news back home. We are doing 11 pages …

One definitely negative aspect of this line of work is that one works a lot alone. Even for a loner such as myself, it gets on you occasionally… Thus, today I am very psyched to collaborate again with Tomas Whitehouse and Elina Paasonen — we’ll be shooting the gala together as we did last year in Tallinn — …
… I could have taken another kind of an image tonight. So much. This time this is all I was left with. Shit — and excuse-me my French…
(Updated: image gallery 28.1.2011 at noon) Yup, that’s it. That’s what I did today. And what I will do tomorrow. And the day after… Sure, I will be covering some of the other events as well, but there is no question where the focus will be. Not that I am complaining — on the contrary.
