"For too long, many nations, including my own, tolerated, even excused, oppression in the Middle East in the name of stability. Oppression became common, but stability never arrived. We must take a different approach. We must help the reformers of the Middle East as they work for freedom, and strive to build a community of peaceful, democratic nations."
- George W. Bush

I spent some two weeks with my family during the holidays. We had some nice -30C temperature most of the time, so we didn't do a whole lot of activities in the snow. But you have to ignore the cold sometimes just to experince the ultimate silence. Just laying down in the soft, fluffy snow out in the country with not a single car or anything else around making any noise. It feels quite amazing really.

My sister gave birth to a cute little daughter during the holidays, got some shots of her. Got some beautiful winter scenes from my parental home too.

These are images from my cousin's wedding. I also took the time to visit my family after the event. I also got some time to visit the traditional market they have in Lycksele for a weekend twice a year.

Some of the pictures are a little grainy. I had to up the brightness on some images to get something useful out of them, it was a little to dark in the room for my new digital camera and I'm still not too used with it and the auto mode could have done better on some images.

These are shots from the summer of 2002. The most important event was of course the wedding of my old friends Robin and Linda Renman. There are also some pictures from when me and my roommate, Richard Bergmark, went fishing in Norsjö. Got a couple of nice nature photos.

These are images from my trip to Santa Clara in California, USA and its surrounding. I was there for an interview with nVidia regarding a possible job or intership. The plan was to make my examination work as a part of my education over there and potentially continuing working there after my education is done. However, I didn't get the job, they experienced a "communication barrier". Still confused what that's supposed to mean. However, I'm not worried as I've been actively approached by several interesting companies, I'm more concerned about the loss of time it led to. I am currently talking with ATi about doing it with them instead, hope and think it'll turn out better there, not only because of more specialized knowledge with ATi hardware but also due to the experience from the nVidia story.

Anyway, I brought my crappy camera on my trip. I wish I had a digital camera, but as I can't afford one these images are products of a crappy photographer using a crappy camera scanning the developed pictures on a cheap (but quite decent anyway) scanner. I took around 100 photos, however, due to the crappiness of my camera I only have about half as many to show. One of the films didn't even get a single picture developed. Not sure what happend to that one. So, there are no photos from the first two days.
No photos from the hotel room survived either, was probably to dark to get a decent picture without a flash.

Oh well, hope you enjoy it anyway.
