#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…

#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…

#328 Copenhagen again

A day in Copenhagen every now and then is a good way to train your photography skills when it comes to street photography. This time I brought only my M10 with a 21mm lens. I shot all pictures in RAW and converted them to black and white i post – as I wrote about in…

#327 Black & white

I am going black & white again. Todays pictures were shot in Lund, Sweden. I feel as I have come home as soon as I shoot in black and white. I just love it. There is something about it… I used to choose ”monochrome jpg” in the camera – but now shoot in RAW and…

#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…

#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…
