I meet with Wadji, head of the on-line department of of the Daily Star. We have been corresponding since May about my last photo series in Lebanon. My initial idea was to get in touch with the ministry of tourism and offer my photography and services, but I never got any clear feedback. Fortunately my idea suited the The Daily Star who is initiating a website promoting Lebanon and they would like to use my photos.
He helped me alot, pouring out with leads like golden coins.
I was humble and thankful and I still am!
Before I left I was introduced 3 photografes, one from the herald times and on for the daily star, the third photographer was the bright Brit Sam who just have been on an assignment to make giga pan photos for the DS. I was compulsory curious about this apparatus he had in his black bag, almost taking it out of his hand and running, however before I acted to this crime of thought he invited me to the roof where he explained me the technique and started to take 108 pictures with the machine that will eventually be massiv a massive in depth of field panorama photo
My ideas with this machine went absent without leave..

While nerding under the Arabian sky, Fadi called me, a Swedish/Lebanese photographer who now lives in Lebanon. My Swedish journalist friend told me to bring him some mail, so I did. Fadi hes has basically been working for all of mayor newspapers in Scandinavia and together with my friend back home during the war 2006. But now he is a cameraman for a reality dating show, understandably he was not satisfied with this current job..
While eating the delicious Lebanese main dishes fattoush, tabouleh and humus we exchange words of life, professionally and personally while swallowing everything down Almace beer..
