Somewhere in a distant Icelandic market place...
After Sven had gathered the samples for the Icelandic Secret Service, he decided to move on. One thought was plaguing him though.
Double 0 Sven felt as if he were being lured into a trap...why did the markets always place the eggs towards the back? And why on earth was there always the smell of fresh bread wafting through the air? He had to resist the temptation to place those ginger biscuits into his basket...
Sven had recently read a magazine article that suggested shoppers fantasised that they were secret agents as they shuffled past the food items. But those were ordinary civilians. What did secret agents actually daydream about...? While strolling past the berry juice section, Sven began to visualise himself as an ordinary civilian doing his weekend shopping...
SMORGES board Henchman:Don't move....
Sven glanced down and saw a pointed gun. He had been ambushed unawares! That's the trouble with maintaining routines when being kept under surveillance....
Double 0 Sven:Is this what you call "shop till you drop"?
The henchman was unamused...
"Fine Scandinavian Food Stall".....
Sven regarded an expensive jar of truffles in the corner of his eyes. He then intentionally knocked it over with his wrist hoping to ire the owner of the market stall.As the stall owner challenged them, Sven seized the chance to dash off....
Double 0 Sven:I knew I had forgotten to buy that!
Sven had an idea....
Without warning, he overturned the fruit and vegetable table, causing the produced to scatter beneath his hunters' feet....
That stunt had only bought a few seconds extra time. They were relentless....Was that the sound of bullet whizzing past?
Come on! He hit the button as hard as he could!
SMORGES Board Henchman:You can't not shop forever Double 0 Sven. Until then, we'll be waiting for you. MWHAHAHA!
Icelandic Secret Service Headquarters....
Double 0 Sven:Here are the samples you requested...
Magnus opened thje paper bag and sunk his teeth into the Danish pastry....
Magnus:Hmmmm!!!! This is delicious! Did you also buy some milk for the office like I asked?
Double 0 Sven:It slipped my mind...
Magnus:Never mind. I think the next mission will suit uo better.... How much do you know about cracking safes, Sven....?
To be Continued....
The extras here are fun, like the girl with her back turned, and that market stall looks the real deal. I also like the out of focus pursuers in the chase pics and the car in the foreground at the end of the sequence. They tell the story well and it's a very cinematic effect!

ReplyDeleteI agree wholeheartedly with Porky, you produce such wonderfully dramatic photos that I often feel like I'm looking at the storyboard for a movie. So exciting! My favorite part of this installment, aside from the awesome pictures of course, is the section about Sven's daydreams. It must be so stressful in his line of work, perhaps he even envies the simple life of the ordinary hobbyist... :)
