Count 'Em

I decided that before I start editing pictures, I should organize them a bit. After all, I (may) have taken 300 shots of the city hall in the sunset, because it was just spectacular. That doesn't mean that anyone wants to see them all. In fact, something around 200 would probably do the trick.

It's going to take a while to edit them, but I'll let you know what's on my photo site and put a few of my favorites here as we go along. Just so you know what to expect:

Buildings - 145 images. Stockholm has absolutely gorgeous architecture, and it was hard to stop trying to capture it. Maybe if I can get some help I'll even try to tell you what's what.

Design - 95 images. A fair bit of stained glass, some graffiti, some details of buildings, sculpture, and, of course, a police dummy. Any anything else I thought looked cool but didn't fit any of the other categories.

Nature (animals) - 33 images. Mostly seagulls, dragonflies, and a bunny, cause everybody loves bunnies.

Nature (sky and water) - 80 images. The only thing that kept this from being way higher is the fact that I made the next category.

Nature (sunsets) - 70 shots. Ones that are more sunset, less building.

People (beautiful) - 285 images. Maybe not all beautiful in the classical sense, but beautiful to me. These are my favorite.

People (circus) - 39 images. I saw a circus guy on the little island we landed on after sailing on the first day. Well, I saw his troop performing downtown a few days later.

People (drunk guy) - 14 images. The guy dancing with the bottle on his head. Yeah, baby!

People (friends) - 33 images. Dorothy & Richard and family, and me and Johan.

People (interesting) - 43 images. Striking, but not beautiful? You decide. Sometimes, it's not who it is, it's what they're doing.

People (look-a-likes) - 10 images. Sting, Brad Pitt, and Anna Kournikova.

People (hair and wind) - 21 images. They may be beautiful, they may be interesting, but the best thing about them is their hair in the wind.

People (posed) - 22 images. They wanted me to take their picture, so I did.

People (vibe) - 78 images. They somehow just capture something about the feeling of the city.

My computer tells me that, after doing a lot of deleting, I have 984 files in my Stockholm directory.


Time to get editing...
