A time to vote

Nepal deciding on monarchy. Well, sort of. At least in final preparations for holding election to a constituent assembly.

Everybody’s talking ‘bout it here, so thought I’d give you my perspective as well...


We’re entering into uncertain times here in Nepal - again. It’s just 5 days to the election here, and it’s by no means an ordinary one. In fact, it can turn out to be a historic milestone in the country’s path towards democracy. Or it can turn out to be the spark that ignites new strife and civil war. My guess is it’ll turn out to be a little bit of both, typical Nepali style, neither this nor that, yes and no at the same time!


The fact that it’s an important event is not hard to miss. No matter who you talk to these days, the subject always turns to the election. And it seems every office you call, you get the same answer: Come back after the election! Four public holidays have been declared next week, schools closed for two weeks, the border with India sealed for 48 hours, alcohol banned on election day and the city here (Kathmandu) is buzzing with speeches coming out of distorting loudspeakers and international reporters and observers etc. Even good old Jimmy Carter is on his way here.

No, there’s definitely something special going on in Nepal these days!


Personally, I’m hoping for the best but preparing for the worst. The election itself can easily be marred by violence and bomb blasts, but it now seems unstoppable, unlike the previous two occasions where it was postponed - not to mention the general mess when the previous election term expired and they weren’t capable / willing to hold a new one.

So OK, the election is coming and besides the actual election results, there’s some other interesting points up in the air:


What’s the election aftermath going to look like?
- Hopefully not Kenya! While the first election results should start to tick in in the ensuing days, we’ll probably have to wait several weeks for the final result - perhaps even months. The country will be in a state of limbo, and there’ll be plenty of opportunity for disgruntled election losers to stir up trouble in the streets. For instance (but not excluding others) the Maoists have already stated that, since they are sure to win, any other result must be equal to fraud and rigged results by the usual “regressive forces etc.”, and therefore completely unacceptable!

Irregularities are almost sure to arise, but even if they don’t, it won’t exactly be a “free and fair” democratic election. Some of the dubious points already:

1. The Code of Conduct has not been adhered to. There has been election related violence, bomb blasts and killings already. Intimidations have been used. Part of the population are afraid to go and give their vote.

2. The candidates are not selected democratically. They have been appointed by the party leaders who again have the power to decide which candidate should get the seats the party has won. It’s not necessarily the candidate with the most votes who get the seat!

3. Top candidates have been given the “safe” election constituencies. Especially women candidates have been given the constituencies that the respective parties stand to loose.

4. Many voters simply don’t understand the election and how to vote. It has been made fairly complicated with a mixed voting system comprising both the first-past-the-post system and the proportional representation system.

But perfectly free and fair elections aside, it might still turn out to be “good enough and workable” to draw up a new constitution. Then again, it might not...


So what’s gonna happen to the King?
Good question, guess they’ll have to de-throne him somehow. It’s now actually written in the (amendment of the) interim constitution that monarchy will be abolished in the first session of the newly elected “all-powerful assembly”. Funny way of playing democracy, isn’t it? Going through all the trouble of electing 601 representatives who’s duty it then is - not to decide on, but - to implement an already stipulated condition, haggled in place by 3 old, male, upper-caste Pahadi tyrants!


So who’s gonna win the damn thing?
Anybody’s guess, really. Estimates I’ve heard can’t be described as being representative for Nepal’s extremely diverse population. I’m also not gonna dare a guess, so no conclusions here, but Madhav Kumar Nepal’s UML party could get a good share if they don’t loose too much to the Maoists. Maoists probably haven’t won many votes on the basis of their 10 year campaign of violence, but they represent change and so could take a lot of protest votes. The last of the big 3, the now re-unified Congress-niks have traditional support from traditionalists. And Nepal is in many ways a country of tradition. But will they stand this time? No answer here, no conclusion. But wait and see...


PS: However it’s gonna play out, I’ll be posting photo’s of the events on this page : Nepal election photos. - So be sure to check in from time to time.

Is it worth it?

(on Tibet & Alamy)



Norbu Gualtsen Rangzen (28), son of Tibetan refugee in Nepal, sustained injuries on his head, arm and back from police beatings during a peace march to mark the anniversary of the 1959 Lhasa uprising. Kathmandu, Nepal, 10. March 2008.

On Monday the Tibetans here in Kathmandu had a big demonstration, intending to march to the Chinese Embassy to deliver a letter demanding an end to the almost 60 year long Chinese occupation of their country. It was the 49 year anniversary of the Tibetan Uprising a.k.a. the Lhasa Massacre that forced the Dalai Lama to flee into exile in India. Allegedly, the Chinese government had put some pressure on the Nepalese authorities to suppress the event. They don’t want any negative publicity before the Beijing Olympics this summer, I gather. So the Nepal Police met the demonstration with force (see the above photo), but this time the Tibetans actually got within shouting distance of the Chinese Embassy.

Some background: I read somewhere that before the Chinese invasion, Tibet had about 5000 temples and monasteries. Today there’s only 2 left, the remaining 4998 having been demolished by Chinese “development aid”. Officially, Nepal recognizes China’s claim to Tibet, like many other countries. That’s realpolitik, considering China’s position in today’s world economy. Nepal still allows Tibetan refugees to cross into Nepal though, which about 2000 of them still do every year.

Later that night on BBC, some expert said he expects the last remains of Tibet to be gone within 10 years. I sometimes wonder how enlightened Tibetans view this historic development, being firm believers in the karma theory: If something bad happens to you, it’s because of the negative deeds you have performed in your past lives... Since the Tibetan exodus, the before so closed culture and religion have been forced to open up and have now actually gained worldwide popularity and support by Richard Gere, Uma Thurman’s dad and the likes. Is the whole thing some sort of divine play?

My stock photography

On another note, I just discovered last night that I’ve actually had my first 3 sales on Alamy during the last 3 months! One photo for an American school book, one photo for a British magazine and one photo yesterday that went into a large, national British newspaper with a circulation of 1 million. Cool! I quickly did the math and found out, money-wise, that it gives me a RPI of just around 1$. Less cool.

What is RPI?

Return Per Image (Per Year). This is the figure you get when you look at how much you’ve earned compared to how many photos you’ve had on sale for a year. A very useful benchmark in the stock photography business, since you can also use it to estimate your future income. Very useful.

How do you calculate your RPI?

You’ll need to know how many photos you’ve had on sale and for how long. And of course how much they’ve earned you. I’ll show you my numbers this time, so follow the example if you’re also a stock shooter and want to calculate your RPI.

number of photos uploaded		how many months available online		yearly equivalent *
10		8		6.7
278		6.5		150.6
21		4.5		7.9
122		1		10.2

* multiply the two other numbers and divide by 12 (months in a year)

TOTAL EQUIVALENT = 6.7+150.6+7.9+10.2 = 175 photos / yr

Total sales = $265

My cut (65%) = $172

My RPI = $172/175 = $0.98

$1 per photo per year is of course a ridiculous low number when you consider the time spent. I reckon roughly one hour for post-processing, upsizing, spot-checking, keywording, uploading, backing up etc. - not to mention time for research, training, the actual fieldwork, marketing and the investment in camera gear, computer and the whole setup. So is it worth it? -Not if you look at it that way, surely. But I’m also gaining valuable experience in this bizarre marketplace and so I expect to improve my RPI over time. + On long term, the photos will likely keep selling for perhaps 5 years or more. + I get “my name out there”, which has some marketing value, I suppose. + There’s always that chance that one of the photos is gonna get picked up for a global advertising campaign and fetch $10.000 or so.

Conclusion: Doing stock photography is a long term project which, in my case, has just begun. It might actually just be worth it!

Down for the count

*If you’re not familiar with the term: a naked Hindu ascetic who have renounced the world - and the use of clothes.

The last 24 hours I’ve been through a cycle of dizziness, constipation, cramps, vomiting, diarrhea and now just headache and exhaustion. Thank God it seems to be over. It all started a few hours after I took the above photos while visiting the pilgrimage site where 178 Baba’s are smoking their fat, marihuana-stuffed chillums. And of course, nobody believes me when I say : I did NOT have a puff from the pipe!

Lately I’ve finally had some days with some more time on my hands, so I’ve started to make some improvements on my web-site. I’ve found a really cool way to make galleries, so looking forward to finishing that up.

For now though, it’s been put on hold, since Sabina’s brother is getting married. I only knew Sabina half a year before we got married and I thought that was rather quick, but this guy... He flew in from Europe Tuesday night, met the girl first time Wednesday morning, got officially engaged Thursday and they now have 2 days to organize everything, hand-deliver invitation cards to well over 100 people, organize the food and music, buy gifts, rings and all the other ceremonial paraphernalia, have tailor-made suits ordered and delivered etc. etc. Wedding takes place Sunday morning at 9.30, that apparently being an astrological optimum timing. Why the rush? Nobody gets married in the month of “Chait” (which starts next week). Everybody knows that here. That would be like celebrating Christmas in July or something.

Well, I’ve gotten used to lot’s of things here in Nepal, so this is not really anything special for me. But it does make me think a bit. Not sure what the point is, just a little illustration of that whole east-west thing, everything is so different that I’ve never been able to pin-point exactly what it is I love about living in Nepal. Chaos is such a negative word...

By the way: The Tarai shut-down is now over so we have normal supply of goods in Kathmandu again (=still shortage, just not so acute). And the traffic jams are also back!

Conflict and approaching election in the Tarai and Nepal.

WARNING: Hold on to your chair, get a cup of coffee ‘cause this is gonna be a bit lengthy post, this one! A tentative analysis on current affairs here. (Part 1)

Only 2 liters pr person. Hundreds of people in Kathmandu are queuing up all morning to get a bit of kerosene fuel for cooking. Supplies are hit by acute shortage. Photo 21. February 2008 © Morten Svenningsen.

For more than a week now, the Tarai region of Nepal (southern lowlands bordering India) have been home to demonstrations, road blockades and violent clashes between police and demonstrators. Vandalism, torching, bombings have ensued, curfews clamped and hundreds are hurt and one person killed.

The immediate effects are not only limited to the region, but have partly paralyzed the capital and the rest of the nation. As all fuel are being trucked in from India, the shut-down in Tarai has cut off the capital Kathmandu and added acutely to the general fuel shortage. 70% of public transport are off the road, held up in mile-long queues outside closed petrol stations. Schools and businesses have closed and tourists are stranded around in various parts of the country as people are no-longer able to commute. Gas and kerosene is largely used for cooking. Prices are regulated by the government but a black market has emerged, on which prices in some instances have doubled, primarily hitting the poorest part of the population.

On longer term, the civil unrest threatens to disrupt the constituent assembly election scheduled for April 10 and, if a solution is not found, the situation can escalate and ultimately tear the country apart.

Who, what and why?

The people living in the Tarai region are a mixed lot. There are indigenous groups, groups culturally linked to neighbouring India and migrant groups who have moved there from the upper hill regions during the last one or two generations. And their demands vary from some sort of symbolic recognition, to autonomous self-governance and complete independence from the rest of Nepal.

Nepal is a multi-ethnic country, but in it’s present 240 year old incarnation, it has been ruled and dominated by an elite minority of powerful upper caste Hindu men from Kathmandu and the middle hill region. So Kathmandu-centered have the society been that you still find old people who uses “Nepal” as a term meaning “The Kathmandu Valley”.

In some cases the people of Tarai have not enjoyed the same civil rights as the elite and the economic development has been markedly slower in the Tarai region despite the more fertile land and geographic advantages.

With a derogatory term, the hill people are still heard from time to time referring to their Tarai countrymen as “dhoti’s”.

These are some of the main woes of the Tarai inhabitants, also referred to as Madheshi’s.

A political hodgepodge

But it is hard to pin down an exact agenda for this “Madheshi movement”. In fact there are more than 20 separate groups claiming to represent the Madheshi’s. If you will allow me to be light-hearted for a moment, it can remind one of a scene in Monty Pyton’s comedy “Life of Brian”. The dialogue goes something like this:

[Three men sitting and discussing politics in an arena:]

A: “Can I join you in the Peoples Revolutionary Front?”

B: “We’re not the Peoples Revolutionary Front, we’re the Revolutionary People’s Front!”

C: “I thought we were the Revolutionary Front of the People!!”

B: “No, he’s sitting over there!!!”

But it is tragic. Because many of the groups are militant as well as political and the death toll in Tarai since the People’s Uprising (Jana Andolan) in Nepal in 2006 is now somewhere in the region of 50 to 80 people. Long gone passed the 20 or so who died in the People’s Uprising in 2006. Here’s a quick list of some of the groups:

• UMDF     United Democratic Madhesi Front, the umbrella
  organization behind the current unrest.

• MJF       Madheshi Janadhikar Forum (a.k.a. Madheshi
  Peoples’ Rights Forum)

• JTMM-G  Janatantrik Terai Mukti Morcha, Goit faction,
  a.k.a. Democratic Terai Liberation Front

• JTMM-J  d.o. (Jwala Singh faction)

• JTMM-B  d.o. (Bishfot Singh faction)

• MMM      Madheshi Mukti Morcha

• TMM      Tharu Mukti Morcha

• MMF      Madhesh Mukti Force

• MRMM    Madheshi Rashtriya Mukti Morcha (a.k.a.
  Madheshi National Liberation Front),

• BMNF     The Broader Madheshi National Front
  consisting of the Dalit Janajati Party, Madhesi
  Loktantrik Morcha (Madheshi Democratic Party)
  and Loktantrik Madheshi Morcha (Democratic
  Madheshi Party) 

• JTLF      Janatantrik Terai Liberation Front
  (Maoist splinter group)

• MM(L)T  Terai Tigers, a.k.a. Madheshi Mukti
  (Liberation) Tigers

• MRB       Madhesh Raksha Bahini (the Madhesh
  Security Brigade) the militant youth wing of
  the Nepal Sadbhawana Party, NSP

(did I get all that right?...)
And some without fancy acronyms, but interesting names: 

• Terai Army

• Royal Defence Army

• Terai Cobra Group

• Terai Baagi (Rebels)

• Madheshi Virus Killers Party

and last, but not least the

• YCL       Young Communist League, the Maoists’
  secret weapon. When the Maoists agreed to
  confine their troops in UN-supervised camps as
  part of the “comprehensive peace agreement”,
  they just set up a new wing (or rather,
  old wing) to take care of their “security issues”.

Mistrust and democratic spirit

The present complicated political scenario makes it nearly impossible to satisfy everyone through special negotiations. Mistrust is wide spread. Of course, one of the purposes of the constituent assembly election is to sort out the state structure through democratic process. In a democratic process, you don’t get more influence than taking part in shaping a new constitution. The Madheshi movements knows this but they demand to be promised “proportional representation”. They are not alone on this demand. Other ethnic groups like the Limbuwans, Khumbuwans, Dalits and Tamangs are pushing similar agendas.

But this is democracy misunderstood. Or at least distorted due to deep mistrust. In democracy you don’t necessarily cast your vote on the person who resembles you the most. You vote on whoever you trust and share views and political visions with. If all of Nepal’s more than 100 ethnic groups demand direct representation, it will be an ethnic assembly in stead of a political assembly. The inter-ethnic mistrust is deep-rooted when it comes to politics and have unfortunately been validated by history. As previously noted, power has always been centered around upper-caste Hindu men.

Election or explosion?

All this (and more) is spinning around the coming election twice postponed and now scheduled for April 10. Clapping with one hand, the Koirala Government promises to solve all problems (yes, they actually say “all problems”) but remains to show anything but complete political, democratic and managerial incompetence. The ageing and fragile prime minister, GP Koirala, has so far simply been unable to put his home in order. And the root causes of conflict remains: While the country is managing things (barely) on a macro-economic scale, it is in a micro-economic disaster. Unemployment is high and a couple of jumbo-jets are daily transporting people out of the country for foreign employment. And corruption continues unabated on all government levels.

Like the de-railed political process in Kenya, I fear that a similar situation is likely here in Nepal. The Tarai problem is explosive, but no less is the question of monarchy. The Maoists’ current politics of “non-violence” are only likely to be adhered to as long as they leave a significant footprint on main political themes, and most prominently their demand for a republic. In recent days, their leader Prachanda has actually been testing the waters to find peoples view of him as Nepal’s first president.

But before he dreams himself to far away from reality, there is an election to win. I would not be surprised if he would be rather disappointed with the election result. One voting analysis last year gave his party about 15% of the votes.

And if he does get his republican agenda through, and ousts the king, he will make a lot of Hindu people upset. Fundamentalists, of course. The Indian right-wing BJP party, possibly (bemused in common Nepali belief to sway an enormous influence on Nepal’s government. While this might have been the case 20 years ago, it is hard to see objective evidence matching the rumors any longer). And finally, the common Hindu man and woman. I have spoken to several people, in fact I would call them a silent majority, who support the king. Not because of his personal traits, but because they are Hindus and he is their king. They are surprisingly numerous among my contacts, but more surprisingly not many of them are actually likely to go and cast their vote. I just wonder what they will do with their beliefs and convictions if a republican order is implemented and the palace is demolished.

A new garden

I am happy to see that a serious and substantial political debate is finally starting to hit the street corners and tea shops in Kathmandu. Finally, at least the election is starting to seem realistic. Still many risks on the road ahead though. Nepalis have to decide about their “New Nepal”. How new will it be? How many of the old customs and institutions will remain? Nepal has a long history of integrating new and old in sometimes logically contradictory constructions. But if they want to grow some new plants in their “garden of 4 casts and 36 ethnicities” as their founder called the country 240 years ago, they’ll have to cut down some of the old trees, won’t they?

High and low in Nepal

With the full moon today, the Tibetan Losar (New Year) celebrations are coming to an end. The celebrations started two weeks ago and I had gone up in the mountains to visit some Tibetan friends and celebrate together with them. Absolutely great trip. Who said early February is off-season for trekking in Nepal? Of course they had 1 meter of snow the week before we got there! Got back to the city last week and there’s been lots of things to do. And problems are piling up in the city. As every year in the dry season, water and electricity is in short supply. We get about 100 liters of water from our tap every night. And we are 8 people in the entire household to share it. Somehow we manage, don’t know how. (What’s that smell?) Then there’s the daily 8 hour power cuts. And on top of that, the Tarai movement(s) have now had a blockade going for the last week. (More about this in one of the next posts.) Fuel and cooking gas are in acute short supply, paralyzing the Valley. 70% of public transport has come to a halt and is parked in mile-long queues outside closed petrol stations. Even some food items are starting to come in short supply! If anything’s ever gonna drive me out of this country, this has got to be it. All the shortages of really basic stuff. It’s not the earthquake risk, the overpopulation, traffic jams, pollution, poverty, corruption or incompetent political leadership. Just the shit you have to go through to get anything done! I’m gonna have to start adding a new fee to my invoices: General 3^rd world agony fee!

Anyway, the mountains are always a nice getaway. Check this site on Himalaya trekking for info and advice. And another thing. From today or tomorrow, the above photo will be available through PhotoShelter here. Yes, I’ve joined the club and set up a little photo gallery there with a Tibetan theme. I have a vague idea about putting some news/editorial and high-end commercial stock photos up there and promoting it a bit. But too many other things on my to-do-list for the moment, and with the above mentioned ‘challenges’, it’s more of an idea than an actual plan for now, I figure. The main attractions for me are the ability to set my own price and possibly get a channel to pitch my occasional news photos through. That and the nice user interface that I can integrate with my own web-site some time if it all works out.

Well, this was just a bit of personal rambling to let you know I’m still alive. Like I mentioned, more on the Tarai problems coming soon, so stay tuned.

Photo business

Man there’s lots of things to do in this business! Funny thing, the actual photography seems to be just the least of it. Looking back at the last months, I’ve spent time writing, developing ideas, posting on forums, making web-site, building links, submitting material, writing invoices (yes, it does happen), taking backup’s, trying to catch up on market news, photography trends etc., besides running the little family, doing the occasional cooking, cleaning, walking the dog etc. So far this month, I’ve taken 3 photos (one of which is the one leading this post). That’s it! Man, life as an independent pro photographer is a lot more than just taking pictures. If it’s not too late to make a new year resolution, I’ll hereby vow to take more time doing actual photography this year! Some of the ideas I want to pursue: Create multimedia, go in-depth with some photo projects, execute some of the shoots I already have in mind, create new and thought-provoking documentaries and get up in some of those awesome mountains they have around here. And still I’m (we’re) waiting for the release of a new 5D Mark II camera from Canon - and wondering how long it’s gonna take to earn something equivalent of the cost. Could do with a new laptop as well, and there’s also a couple of lenses I’d like to get my hands on. Let’s see, how many thousand dollars is that? 3,4,5,6,7,8? And that’s why I have to spend so much time not looking through the viewfinder with my finger on the shutter button. Just can’t do it all the time if you wanna stay in business. And that’s why I occasionally will have to take some weeks in front of the laptop in stead, I guess.

Time to market (news photos, democracy and the loot)

Old news: My friend and colleague, Nick, in a sharp situation during the peoples uprising, April 2006. That's a cloud of tear gas behind him, he's trying to escape by the way.

© Morten Svenningsen

I’ve been looking for a better way to get some of my newsworthy photos out on the market. News photography is just a little part of what I’m doing, but we do have an election coming up here – probably. Right now I just have my web-site to use for fast turn-around times. In itself fine, but I’m afraid it’s still not that well known among broadsheet photo editors around the globe. And they usually don’t have time to surf around on the net and contact photographers they don’t already have a working relationship with. So I’ll need to affiliate myself with one of the big photo agencies or portals. Just not interested in joining a news agency who expect me to run around and cover every little event in the region.

So I was quite happy to come home yesterday and see in my inbox a solution present itself. My usual photo agency, Alamy, informed me that they intend to implement a 24h turn-around time from upload to online in stead of the usual 3 weeks! That opens up new possibilities within my existing business infrastructure. It’s still not quite upload-and-see-it-in-the-papers-next-day, but should be good enough for second cycle use. If just PE’s will start looking to Alamy for their news photos...

And here in Nepal the constituent assembly election date has now been set to April 10. Two years after the peoples uprising (v2), eight years after the last 4-year term election and 18 years after the first peoples uprising. Talk about a long time-to-market. Two years would have been okay, I suppose, if they’d just come out and said that from the beginning in stead of repeatedly setting dates and then postponing them.

If only they were as quick as the thieves of this country... Sabina had her mobile phone stolen Monday night – Tuesday afternoon she saw in on sale in a “second-hand” shop. Now that’s what I call time-to-market! Unfortunately, before she could get hold of some muscles (me - the police is a joke around here), the guy had taken it off the shelf and then tried to tell us that he just sold it. Right!

But if you ever have your phone stolen in Kathmandu, just look around in the second-hand shops on Bag Bazar. And bring some muscles or any other means of persuasion!

New web site!

Here's the result of the last week's labour - and the last half year's speculations and preperations!

Finally: I have just finished the complete re-design of my web-site and it is being uploaded as I write this!

So what’s new?

First of all, the old site consisted mainly of photos. I realized that it wasn’t doing me very much good with the search engines, since they are all geared for text and not for photos. Even after keywording all my photos they still didn’t show up in any Google search. So in the new design I have a lot more text, carefully filled with good keywords, on the different pages. Is that gonna do me any good? Don’t know yet. I have never targeted the “internet masses” with my business. But listening to people like Dan Heller, I figured it was worth a try. Even if it doesn’t convert into a steady sales channel, I hope that it will at least boost my Google ranking which fell from a modest 3 to a meager 2 recently, after they regrouped their priorities. (The ironic thing is that I started getting more profitable hits after that event!)

Secondly, the navigation sucked on the old site. Everything was arranged in categories and sub-categories and it was getting increasingly difficult to keep it logical. Now everything is arranged so it never takes more than one click to go anywhere from the main page! It makes it a lot easier to see what the site contains.

I also changed the general layout of the site, from a heavy, serious black to a bright and light white, which is a lot more readable for text and still totally acceptable for viewing photos.

And another thing I’m very excited about is the Web 2.0 features I’ve now implemented. Or at least Web 1.5. You can subscribe to a newsletter and there is an area for user comments and debate. Not very revolutionary, but pretty neat for an amateur web designer like myself. It was implemented with something called Joomla, pretty advanced stuff and a bit over my head most of the time. But once you’ve gotten it to work, it does a great job! So at least now there is those options. Whether they’ll be used or not, that’s another matter. Time will tell...

What else? The photo essays are no longer buried in some sub-menu but brought right up on the front page. The design could be better but overall I’m pretty happy about it. Lots of white-space although it’s not always in the best places (imo). And a side benefit: I think it’s gonna be a lot simpler for me to update and maintain the whole thing.

So that’s about it. I just have one last request. I would really appreciate it if you would have a look at the whole thing and tell me what you think. Is there any mistakes that catches your eyes? Something that doesn’t work? Grammatical mistakes? Anything.

Send me an e-mail, write in the comments section, here or on the web-site. The address is, if you don’t already know it, http://www.msmediaservice.com

UPDATE 2009 : I have a new-new site on www.mortensvenningsen.com !!

Thanks!
