WTF

I did this "photo shoot" for Opera a couple of weeks ago. And I'm not a model or anything, so at first I didn't know what this was about. I knew it was for the Desktop browser, and they needed some pictures for their product line, but I wasn't sure when this was gonna go live (or even if they were gonna use 'em!). But apparently they did ... this week .

I jumped when I saw the installation screen for the Opera 9.20 beta (Yes, I'm the geek to the right on that picture!). I thought: "Holy Cra*!? What's this?". Guess the view is better when seen straight from the front (silly pic - yes I know). Or is it?

The good thing is that My Opera is seen on the monitor (I'm there as well - sitting on a chair if you look real close) .

I'm not bummed in a way. It's that feeling you get when you listen to your own voice, or see yourself on video. Know what I'm talking about? It's more like that...

Just freaked me out for a sec.

With a Mac! Yo! Good choice! (Must-have-Mac-again(drool))

It is sort of funny because it looks like she is teaching you something, as if you need it.

It wasn't really a photoshoot, just a cameraman who was there at the right time.

Nice one Espen.

Espen André ØverdahlEspenAO # Tuesday, April 3, 2007 9:43:01 AM

I'm a boy!

AntonCaptainSeagull # Thursday, April 5, 2007 4:51:29 AM

Sadly I use Opera Mini to blog and I've no idea what your blog looks like in opera 9.2... It must be wonderful right?

Janizomg # Tuesday, April 10, 2007 7:18:00 PM

Well, you look trendy enough to go with the rest of the trendy Opera guys and gals you see in the marketing photos

David Blangstrupdavidcrickett # Thursday, April 12, 2007 5:32:08 AM

Okay, who is she?

Henrik HelmersHelmers # Thursday, April 12, 2007 2:02:10 PM

Ruben Garciaeztigma # Friday, April 13, 2007 8:43:17 AM

YES YES! you look like the iPod lovers in the windows install... too bad that Mac doesn't have all those photos.

Anyway, it's a nice picture!! I've been trying to shoot a similar one myself!
