Finally, yes? I am done with the editing of the promotional pics for the Swedish stand up comedian Aron Flam. I will now present to you six of the shots, together with a small time story on the shoot of course. Read you bastards.

( I guess the photo gives away his name? )

For those of you aren’t familiar with the Swedish stand up dude called Aron Flam, I suggest you start finding stuff out. He is quite the funny guy, and a very calm and good performer. I shot a bunch of live ones when he was on tour in Waasa with his buddies Soran Ismail and Fredrik Andersson. The very next day we went on a small promo session with Aron and Sam Jansson. Aron was the face, and Sam was the tag-along all around contact dude who booked his gig. You should read his blog.. ( www.sammen.se ) He is also the man who hired Tage. And why do I speak of myself in third person?

( Aron gives me the stare )

We took these shots at some abandoned house in the Olympia districts of Waasa. I checked out the place the night before and it really looked sealed up, and it was, luckily we found ourselves a way in through a back door.. We hung out in the shut down house for about 20 minutes and then we moved on to some industrial spaces in the Car shop parts of Waasa.. I don’t know what the district is called, but they sell lots of cars..

( At the Radisson Hotel )

Before we called it a day we took some snaps at the hotel where Aron was staying. I think the shot above kinda looks like we had a swing by one of the “Sverigebåtarna“, like Cinderella or some shit. But what can you do ey? If it looks like Silja Line, then it looks like Silja Line. Wise words provided to you by the Tage.

And of course I have to give myself a hard time by posting some vertical shots, it’s no fun if it is not difficult. The layout is probably properly fucked up by now. I can’t believe that WordPress actually have such difficulties with me posting vertical shots. Enough with the complaints right..

Anyway. The shot to your right is also captured among the car salesmen of Waasa. With a catchy red building in the background of course. I once learned from a photo teacher that there always has to be something red in the frame, I don’t know if he was right..

But at least the Tage always tries to find something red to throw in the framing. It can be a bottle of lubricant or an apple.

And yes, before I forget. If you haven’t heard, Ramedus has finally started his own web site, and it’s very cool. So if you aren’t up to anything after you’ve finished this article, do swing by his site at the following click!

He has been working with the site for many many days and it really looks good. And hopefully he will be blogging every day!

And the session goes on and on.. But now we have returned to the abandoned house again. This shot is my personal favorite I think.. Can’t really explain why, it just is.. Forgive me if I’m somewhat absent in my lyrics, I’m trying to watch the Olympics while I write today’s insert. USA- Switzerland on ice. Moving on to the last shot shall we..? Yes we shall. Enough hockey talk..

And yes but of course.. You should all check in on Aron’s web site, he has a cool blog with some nice wise words! Check it out, and you, yes you, it is in Swedish..

And as tomorrow is approaching very fast I’m now getting ready for bed to try and get rid of this Godforsaken cold which was put upon me for some ugly fucking reason. Why do I have to be punished..? Anyway, enough about me, and more about the Aron Flam another time.. Hope you enjoyed the shots and I hope to see you again..

Stay tuned. Stay informed. (My very brand new catchy end line)

// Tage – Charlotte Kalla & Björn Ferry, Pyh! Saku Koivu & Teemu Selänne for the win! Yes!
