This time of year, Sweden is a very long country. I have just been in Luleå for a week, working. Luleå is one of the most northern cities in Sweden – or even in the world. This picture is from wednesday last week. Then today – back home in Mantorp, outside Linköping – the spring…

#17 Learning the Leica Q – part one
Had the day off and took the opportunity to try out the Leica Q. The weather in Linköping is great – to be in the middle of March. Sunny and about 5 degrees celsius. Shot the pictures with the lens wide open – the camera has an electronic shutter, so this is possible even on…
#16 A New Chapter
A new chapter in my Leica Story has begun; the Leica Q. The first impressions are very positive. A solid camera with fantastic performance. It is hard to imagine a camera to get any better – but then there is the Leica Q2… Today it was a rainy day, but I just had to try…
#15 Outdoor Colors
There is not much bright colors in the nature these days. I hope the rightful owner will find it again.
#14 Streets
Yesterday we were in Linköping to visit one of our favourite restaurants. Before that we took a walk around the city. The weather was nice and one can almost feel that spring is just around the corner. Soon this street will have a green roof. Can’t wait… The camera that was on my shoulder was…
#13 Lenses for the ”M”
Fact ; I haven’t used Leica Lenses. I can’t see how I can motivate the cost, compared to Zeiss and Voigtländer lenses. I am not a professional and I am mostly shooting for my own pleasure. If I tried a Leica lens, I am sure I would be stuck – but as for now I…
#12 Project Update
I added pictures from last years trip to Vienna to my Vienna-project. Now I will start to set the photo book together… Check out all the Vienna-pictures here.
#11 The morning walk
We have walked it many many times. The morning walk. There is nothing to see, nothing to photograph…or is there…? The light may be different, the clouds may be different and it may be spring or in the middle of the winter. You can expose for the highlights or you can shoot in black and…
#10 Saturday
Breakfast at my favourite café in Linköping this morning. Scones, orange juice, egg and cappucino. A perfect start of a saturday. Had a 28 mm Zeiss lens on my Leica today and tried some zone focusing pictures. I haven’t used this method that much – I kind of like to take the time and adjust…
#9 City Animals
Sometimes I just feel like taking a photo walk in my home town – but as I walk I can’t find anything to shoot. It’s like I have seen everything and also have taken photos of everything worth shooting. When I feel like that, I try to see new things. Today I happened do see…
#8 The X100 family
The one camera that started my present Fuji – and later also Leica – passion was the Fujifilm X100. The original X100 back in 2011, that is… The original X100 – which I still own – was beautiful in it’s simplicity. It was a totally new concept, gave great pictures and was an incredible joy…
#7 More Project Updates
I work on transferring over some of my small projects to this new blog. Today I updated “Sweden” and “Östergötland” – two projects about documenting my homeland. New pictures and older pictures. These are the kind of projects that can last a lifetime, with different outputs. This time it is a book with pictures sorted…
