#344 The Market

The first week of August every year, there is a big market in a small town near my home. It is said to be the oldest and largest in Sweden. I often take the train there with my camera. Go for a walk. Drink some coffee. Wonder about how much junk there can be in…

#343 Using film for everyday photos

I have been leaving my digital camera at home more lately. Instead I have brought my analogue camera with a 35mm lens and a spare film. This has ment that I have shot less pictures, spent more money and been restricted to shoot only in black and white at 400 ASA. And I love it….

#342 One of these evenings

Gothenburg in the middle of August. The light in the evening was fantastic. It was one of these evenings you wished would last for ever. At one of the little squares there was music playing. People were dancing and just having a good time. Finally the light was gone. The city went to sleep and…

#340 A slower pase

Lately i haven’t been posting much here. Focus has simply been on other things than photography. What I have noticed is that I have enjoyed analogue photography more and more on the occations that I actually picked up the camera. It might not be that strange after all. When life is at high speed, photography…

#338 About a Picture

This picture was shot during what seemed to be ”the dog-hour” in little Vadstena. It felt like there was a scilent understanding that this was the time to walk the dog. I was in Vadstena to relax with my camera and a cup of coffee in a nice café. My plan was to shoot the…

#337 Kiruna – a city on the move

If you go almost as far north you can in Sweden you find a city that is moving – Kiruna. The city was founded in the year 1900 and is built more or less on top of the largest underground iron ore mine in the world. This is also the reason why the city is…

#334 Chasing a red bag

I was out walking in my home town Linköping. Suddenly I saw the man with the red bag. He was about fifty meters away and he was walking away from me. I took a shot from a distance – but I realized that I needed to get closer. The picture above was shot in landscape…

#333 Black and White

In this post I go wild in black and white – again… I am back in Copenhagen again. I really can’t find a place in Sweden that matches Copenhagen when it comes to shooting city and street photos. Lucky for me that Copenhagen and Denmark is close by… For the moment I feel very much…

#332 About a picture

The bridge ”Frydenlundsbrua” in Narvik. I can imagine that the decorations are med by a local elementary school. Below the bridge is the iron ore railway from Kiruna in Sweden – or as it is called in Norway ”Ofotbanen”.

#331 Tivoli and a Zeiss 21mm

Tivoli in Copenhagen is packed with people this time of year. As it turned out my Zeiss 4,5/21 Biogon was a good lens for this nice old amusement park. The small train is slowly rolling the full, narrow streets of Tivoli. The picture above is one of my favourites from the visit to Tivoli. I…

#329 About a Picture

It is not sharp but I like it anyway. I am not sure what the women are doing, but the dog is cool. Yet another picture from my visit to Copenhagen. I am afraid there will be more…
