new york – Louise Dock

19+4 and counting

So we were late to it. After a little over 19 years together and two kids born in sin, we tied the knot 4 years ago. It was just the two of us and the two wonders we made. Just like we wanted it. Swedish New York based photographer Pontus Höök captured our day and…

Three years ago

Today we had breakfast at Appelbee’s (Fabian consuming a mountain of pancakes) and afterwards turning to the Top of the Rock, tying the knot and becoming Mr & Mrs Dock. I remember the day as it was yesterday, partly because photographer Pontus Höök documented it all. We’ve been together since 1993. Loving, laughing and at…

What did I just say?

Earlier today I was in contact with an old colleague. We had a short chat about life. I remember mentioning something about children are not the end of ones life, they merrily adds on a dimension to life. Dimensions that I, right now, gladly, would skip for the dimensions brought by a Martini from a sky…

Dreams

To reach your dreams you constantly need to go outside your comfort zone. Constantly. I know when I need to. I get a gut feeling. This gut feeling is very similar to my bad conscience gut, but I have learnt to tell them apart. The gut feeling that tells me that I am taking the…

Us and hurricanes

Last year, we left NYC earlier and in a little more hurry than planned due to hurricane Sandy. Today, a year to the date, a hurricane is closing in on our coast line. Do not like this trend.

Happy, HAPPY anniversary

Time? It is a strange phoneme. You can not touch it, but you know it is there through memories, pictures and feelings. Today, one year ago, on top of NYC we said, what we decades before already had decided, to stick through thick and thin and to the ones we are. As individuals, as a…

When will it end?

I don’t know where I have been. Probably yelling my lungs off. From this day, I will really think twice, three or 100.074.663 times before I even consider to ask them to stop. And I will be sure to NEVER, EVER blame the older again, even if there are tangible marks of blood on little…

OK USA

So we did my dream vacation. I always wanted to go to Disney World as a kid and never came (not until I was 16 and it wasn’t really the same). So I decided that I one day would take my kids there. And I (no, not he Mr), if I ever was to marry,…

Pictures from THE city

Midtown I know you all been waiting and here are some (of the 404 I took, thank God for digital cameras) pictures from the mother of all cities – New York (like any one has missed that it was there I was going). It was 17 (!) years ago since I was there last. That…
