Sveinn Joelsson
Drag to set position!
No hair, married and two children.
I guess I'll die when I've finished all the shit I can stomach.

Jóelsson or Sushanta Meh as the author and preferably accompanied by a link to this page (my flickr profile page), for any other information you will need to contact me here via e-mail, flickr mail or simply by leaving a comment. Please don't use them anonymously. I'm not the biggest fan of copyrights, but sometimes I like to take credit for what I do without a bitter taste in my mouth :).

I take images for the sake of taking images I find it therapeutic and calming, meditative even. This has a tremendous effect on what I shoot. I rarely take images of people for the interaction brakes the "meditation". So inanimate objects, animals, flowers and landscapes just about covers it. I rarely share my images with anybody. Some I feel a need (vanity, curiosity or something else) to share and then I do.
I like most images, it is the way I am, looking at something for a while usually makes me like it. Same goes for people, the better I know them, the more I like them. This hasn't necessarily helped me through life or is in any way something I strife for (for some people maybe), it is what I am.
I've found out that nude people are more interesting than clothed people.
Recently I said this in an e-mail to this guy : I seriously doubt the universe allows luxuries like non-existence it doesn't seem to be its style at all.
So If you've read this all you now have some material for your mind to form an image of me by the feelings you associate with the words I wrote (and a bunch of other factors, what do I know anyway?), but my words and you reading them did this, by magic, the best kind of magic ... the mundane kind.
Oh, yes by the way, there is no such thing as an illegal person.

(I cant remember, but I'm sure I deleted plenty of his work in that group) Now I find his work beautiful, usually calming, balanced and carefully considered.

When I first met Sveinn and his work in the deleteme group, I was not that interested in his particular style or subject matter. (I cant remember, but I'm sure I deleted plenty of his work in that group) Now I find his work beautiful, usually calming, balanced and carefully considered. But aside from his images, Sveinn has proven to be one of the most interesting of the people I have met on flickr, always providing entertaining and insightful feedback, often spurring long conversations and explorations into ideas and images, dreams and theories. Sveinn also seems to be incredibly nice. :) This is not just my opinion, but others I have spoken to who have read his comments agree he is a particularly likeable person. Anyway, these testimonials are strange things indeed. I feel like I am trying to sell Sveinn on late night TV... but his contemplative images and words will sell themselves, I believe.

No wonder Sushanta Meh has no testimonials yet. After all he's married, has no hair and also has two children. Despite all that, you must know that even though these are some undeniable flaws, he is also a very skillful photographer who won the competition for the Meh People's Choice Award 2007, organized by an infamous Flickr group which name we shall not mention for security reasons. He also likes shooting rainbows and chewing on metallic lingerie. All in all, pretty nice chap, if you manage to forget his flaws. I'm still trying...
