Fashion & Foro Alicia Concert October 14, 2010

Hey all...

Well 5 months passed very quickly.. News from Mexico City includes that I have moved to the Centro Historico which means that I am now only just a few hundred meters from The Zocalo (main square) and the Aztek emperor Mochtezumas Gran Palace. A fact that I really like..!! Will upload apartment photos soon..

Besides the moving I have finally moved on the old postcard project that´s been circulating in my head for years now..!! Guess since the existing cards were so old I thought that it would be very hard to enter the market.. But hey finally something more or less easy in Mexico.. Talked to Conaculta (an government organisation that manages book/art shops around the country) and the boss-lady liked the cards and gave the go-ahead to give me a supplier number and so on...! So now I am slowly moving into more and more Conaculta shops around the city including Palacio Nacional, Bellas Artes and hopefully soon the airport shops.. On my own I am contacting other places and I am now in Hostels (Mexico City & Regina), Hotels (Condesa) and Museums, (Mexico City Museum) with more to come... Hopefully..:-)

The goal is to sell around 100cards a day which would pay my rent, parking, phone and more..!!

Besides that I will probably soon begin to shoot for a model-training agency for the wannabee models books.. Could be fun.. :-) Did my first Fashion shoot not long ago and it went okay.. Judge for yourself.





























Yesterday I went to the famous Foro Alicia.. A small concert place the Roma zone of town. The bands playing were the cool Yucatan A Go-Go and the very famous band Botellitas de Jerez.. Got in for the practice and got to go on the stage, so a pretty cool night..!! Here´s some pics...

Mexico City Life

Hello all

It´s been a while since my last post and lot´s have changed..! First of all I decided to move to Mexico city. It was a spur of the moment thing and from the deciding moment it took me 2 days to make the total transfer to the apartment I found in Mexico City.

I guess in the end Queretaro was just to slow for me and especially after having spend a few weekends in Mexico City where I really enjoyed myself in the buzz of the big city, I new it was a matter of time..

I´m now living in Roma Norte, a very nice, artistic and relaxed part of town close to hip Condesa and the electric nightlife, so I am very happy with my new place.

So now the big challenge is ahead.. To somehow make people (customers) know that they have another option photography wise.. Because this is the city when it comes to hip hotels and restaurants, magazines, advertising and fashion..!! So I am definately in the right place now I "just" have to sell myself.. which of course have always been my achilles' heel...!

So can I break through that invisible contact barrier an get the jobs..? Time will tell I guess...

Enjoy the photos from D.F and wish me luck..

Isla Cozumel

Hola everybody..

After my guide trip I took the ferry over to Cozumel and rented an old Beetle convertible and went around the island...! First time for me on the north side and it was a nice surprise.. The beaches were of the finest sand and the water cristal clear and turquoise blue.. Need I say more..?
