The dumbest damn idea

My friend Johan Wendt has written a book named Den dummaste jävla idé jag någonsin hört—The dumbest damn idea I ever heard—about Mattecentrum, his non-profit organization that offers free math tutoring. This week I was at the release party to support him and take pictures for his publisher Bokförlaget Langenskiöld. Here are some of those pictures.

Look at them first, then there's a link for you at the bottom.

That's all. Now click here to get the book.

I was only at the MY 2014 fair to photograph gamers, but got a lot more. A friend told me about the Swedish Cosplay Championships so I flashed the press pass and got in to take these pictures. Thanks to the organizers for a great event.
