#315 Camera gear for a trip to Lofoten

At the moment we are on our way to Lofoten in northern Norway for a week. I have heard so many good things about Lofoten and exepct a couple of great days with many photo opportunities. I had some problems in deciding what camera gear to bring for the trip. At first I planned to…

#313 Leica stuff I regret I sold

I have bought and sold so much camera gear in my life, that I have lost count long ago. All this change of gear have led me slowly to where I am now – in the Leica M hell…or is it heaven…? I am not a collector. I often feel in my heart when I…

#312 My first two rolls from the M3

The other day my first two rolls from the Leica M3 came home from developing. I used to develop both film and paper pictures in the dark room – but now I have gone lazy and let others help me with that… The picture from Stockholm Central Station above was my first shot with the…

#311 Golfing with a Fujifilm X-camera

Golf courses can be really beautiful – but when they are located near water it is even more so. Earlier this year we played a course called ”Links Golf Öland” on Swedens second largest island [Öland]. In my bag I had a camera. A Fujifilm X-camera… The course is also called ”Grönhögen” from the small…

#310 Shooting Zeiss 4,5/21 ZM Biogon in Stockholm

Today I set out to shoot my Zeiss 4,5/21mm Biogon lens on my Leica M10 in Stockholm. It was a warm and sunny late afternoon – one of the warmest this year. I started out in the vicinity of the Central Station, where my hotel was. I walked to the southern parts of the city…

#309 What is this blog really about?

A couple of years ago when I started this blog, my intention was that it would be about photography with Leica and Fujifilm cameras. Today I write post number 309 and I am having a hard time to figure out what the blog has become over the years. Writing a blog like this has made…

#308 My [new] philosophy about photography

Once more I find myself in a creative dead end. I often do after a long, dark Swedish winter. What´s the point of taking pictures? What should I photograph? But – is it even necessary to have a point? I often find myself searching for a meaning – insted of just enjoying the process of…

#307 About a Picture

Just as we thought that spring was here – winter returns. Today we dozed in the sun and 12 degrees Celsius – tomorrow it will snow all day. Hopefully it will be gone again in a day or two. The picture is not from tomorrow – it is from earlier this winter. But I liked…

#306 Helsingborg in black and white

Waking up in Helsingborg this morning. When ever I have the time I take an early walk along the ocean. This morning was a perfect day for black and white photos. Started out with my Nikon F3 and a roll of Tri-X film. After a while I switched to the Leica M. The cloudy sky…

#305 About a Picture

This picture is from the last roll of my Leica M4. Wow how I regret selling that camera. I will get one again – I promise. When I do I will tell my wife to hit me in the head if I should put it out for sale. How stupid can a man get…

#304 The farmers are back

Finally the ”farmers market” is back in Linköping after a winter break. A nice tradition where we can buy food from the nearby farms instead of the boring stuff at the supermarket. It has become a sign of spring – even though the weather gods hasn’t decided about spring yet. I heard that the snow…
