2008 is here :o)

Thursday January 3rd, 2008 at 08:39AM

Long time no.... nothing :o)

The past two months have literally flown (as in "time flies" :o)

I had my first exhibit in December which really went great. As I have said before the name of the "show" was related to our "small-ness" in this world in comparison to the forces of nature, t.i. the weather, water, sea, wind and excedra... The strange/funny thing is that in those few days of my exhibit, the weather here in Iceland was VERY strange to say the least. We had 3 major "lows" over the country with really bad weather (the worst in years)!!! I was asked a few times if the weather was under my control, to emphasize the meaning of my show LOL. I opened my new web side www.ragnheidurarngrims.is (which btw. I have not had enough time to work on YET) and sold quite a few pictures (which made Árni, my hubby, so happy because of my new camera LOL). 

The holidays were great!!! Well, if I do not count the 3 visits to the hospital with our 4 years old (but hey, he is fine now, only has a few more holes on his body than before :o) We really relaxed, which was long overdue (picture taking is so much fun but can be exhausting also :o)

Having said that, most of the pictures I have taken lately have been for "other" people so now it is time for me again :o)

We are building a new house (well, actually we are building two houses, one to live in while finishing the other, hopefully our future home, - both located at the same street)... This involves selling our house which makes us kinda sad, we have been so happy here :o( But the new house (the final one) has bedrooms for all of us and is located at a beautiful well placed location.... And isn´t it true that your home is where your heart is hihihi.... We also get to design our house from the scratch which is really exciting :o) Árni is building the house (and finishing his business degree) and we just bought or should I say started a new business which involves taking pictures, make up, coffee, mothers hihihi... will tell you more when we know more :o) For those of you that have been asking about my flying, I will not go on the Jumbo for the time being, will settle for smaller planes this year :o)

So, as you can see we are a little busy and as I am afraid that my hobby will get lost in all of this I have set my self a goal. Picture a day (PAD) - I will start with one month and then I will see if I have enough time for another and so on :o)

This place has really been an inspiration to me regarding my pictures... Thanks you guys.. Although I have not had the time and energy to answer all your nice letters and comments recently I REALLY appreciate them... THANKS so much!!!

As my new task starts today AND the weather weather is not good for taking my camera outside, I will have to come up with something else to shoot :o)

 

OH and I WISH ALL OF YOU A REALLY HAPPY NEW YEAR full of happiness, peace and good health...

 

for those of you that have not seen Robertos interviews, here is the one he did with me :o) www.ipernity.com/blog/14433/28980

Ekkert smá mikið að gerast hjá þér Ragga! Til hamingju með þetta allt saman! :D
Hlakka til að sjá PAD-ið þitt, það á örugglega eftir að verða innblástur fyrir marga, þ.m.t. mig ;o)

Gleðilegt nýtt ár og takk fyrir samskiptin á því gamla :o)

Æ takk fyrir Oddur... Ég fékk Kristinn Loga til að gera áramótaheitið "færri spítala heimsóknir heldur en í fyrra LOL"... Æ svo brosir þessi ungi bara útí eitt :o) Annars er alltaf nóg að gera (stundum einum of, en það er betra heldur en að hafa ekki neitt að gera!!! :o) OG takk sömuleiðis :o)

Ragga, first is first, and I wish so much that you have an excellent year! You are indeed full of things in mind and of projects!!! As a friend of mine said once "while there is movement, there is life", and you seem quite full of movement! I am sure that this keeps (and will keep) you happy along the year. Hope so!

Thank you for your visit. I am going next to read the inverview :) It's a pity, but, I am quite inactive right now, about photography. This may easily go till august, more or less. I guess I just need the time for other things. I miss soooo much posting pictures! (hehe, ... I won't resist it, anyway)

May you and all your family be always warm! And, not only about weather, but about human warmth.

It sounds like you are very busy these days, with lots of good things to look forward to.
I look forward to more of your photos, as I find them inspiring. You are also one of the Icelandic photographers that really makes me want to visit there in future.
So, keep up the good work, and stay balanced in all your activities.
All the best to you, John
