Back in Perth

So I'm back in Perth after an awesome summer in Sweden. Two months sounds like a long time but it's actually a small amount of time to fit in everyone you really wanna meet, so if anyone who reads this which i didn't have time to meet up with, I'm really sorry! But don't worry, or be mad :p, I'll be back in November again :)

What have I done, a bit hard to remember but here goes; I've off course met my darling Caroline a bunch of times. I mostly went there because she had to be a working lady most of the the summer but we had a great time anyway, so I got to be the desperate househusband, except that I wasn't desperate, but we really used the time we had which I'm really happy about. She also came to Stockholm he he heeee :D. I surprised her a bit with going to Hasseludden Yasuragi, a Japanese spa outside Stockholm in the archipelago. We both love Japanese stuff so i think it was a jackpot :p Pics here and here.

It was our first trip together so it was really special for me. First we took the boat from Strömkajen in Stockholm, where almost all the boats to the archipelago leaves from and then after 30 min we arrived at the spa. Which was awesome, I've been there a couple of years ago with some homies but then it wasn't completely finished but now it looked amazing. We just chillaxed there and swam in the hot springs, ate from the fruit buffé, read our nerdy books, ate an awesome Japanese dinner buffé, had drinks from the bar and did a whole lot of walking around in our japanese yukatas, morning robes. :)

I've also helped some friends who's making a feature movie called Shaman for a couple of days with the lighting and other stuff, which was fun and made me wanna go back to making movies again, so I'm thinking of selling my current camera and maybe buy a Canon 500D or a Nikon D5000 so I can shoot some video also coz they can shoot in full HD.

Oh yeah and I helped Niklas to scout some movie locations for a short movie he is working on at the moment and we also had a really nice dinner the night before.

And I also got some time to go to our countryhouse with my dad and I did some fishing, caught three fishes, two Perches and a Pike. But I threw them back coz they were pretty small. I've also met some friends, gone In-door climbing, hanged out with my family, watched a lot of movies, and even gotten some sunlight haha.

Some portfolio news:

• Got chosen to be a part of ScanArt 2009 exhibition in Melbourne.
• Got a new website: http://martinrinman.com
• Got featured on Foto.feber.se
  

Yes, I've finally bought the domain http://martinrinman.com and its up and running since a few weeks back. So take a peak!

I'm probably gonna go to Melbourne at the end of this month to deliver some of my artwork for this years ScanArt exhibition which they got chosen to be apart off :). WohoO! This will be my second exhibition, which is cool, a big step in the right direction I would say.

On the way here I stopped in Bangkok for 18 hours, which would have been awful unless my parents where there at that time. So I took a taxi to their hotel in central Bangkok and got some sleep, then we headed out too Central Plaza for some shopping and food which was really nice. We also met my cousin who we had dinner with and then she took us to the airport to send me off.

After 6½ hours of flight I was back here, got picked up by Joshua and then slept for the rest of the day. That's about it I think?

I've finished my Photomedia Major so I'm gonna study some more painting classes this semester and a photo unit also. I haven't chosen the fourth unit coz i haven't figured out what to study, but I will choose this weekend though.

Laters :)
