It has been more than a month since the last time we added a new post in our blog. It has looked rather empty and quite here but, boy, it has happened a lot!
To start with, we had the grate pleasure and the honor to be the official photographers for the Nobel Foundation, for the 4th year on the row, and photograph the festivities around the Nobel prizes award ceremony and the Banquet 2011!
“Our” Nobel-week started on Friday the 2nd of December, with a meeting at the Foundation, to go through the following week’s schedule in detail and to get all the necessary papers, invitations and contact information for free access to the places where things were going to happen.
The following week meant covering photographically the arrival of one of the Laureates and his family at the Arlanda airport’s VIP service, their arrival at the Grand Hotel, the welcome meeting of all the Laureates at the Nobel Museum, the receptions of the Laureates at the Karolinska Institute and at the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences, the Nobel lectures in chemistry, physics and ekonomic sciences in Aula Magna, the reception at the Nordiska museum, the preparations, ceremony and banquet at the Concert House and the City Hall.
The Nobel week finished on Monday the 12th, with the group photo of all the Leaureates (including the 3 ladies who share the Nobel Peace Prize and had just arrived from Oslo) at the house of the Nobel Foundation.
As if all the above was not enough we photographed in the Norrtälje prison for the Swedish Prison and Probation Service, we took part and photographed the Business Day in Österåker which was organised by the community, scuba-dived at Täby, desugned and delivered the wedding albums of our couples of this year and lots more.
For all the above, separate posts and slideshows are coming at the blog the following days.
Special mention with a coming post has to be made for a photo-project that we are members with real honor and humbleness;
the Essence Vitae !
