#384 Utvecklingen kan gå bakåt..

[”Forward can be backwards” – Post in Swedish – English summary in the end…] Efter 382 inlägg på denna blogg övergick jag till att skriva på svenska och istället göra en kort summering på engelska. Varför då? Tja – det är helt enkelt lättare att uttrycka sig i text på svenska. Jag tror inte att…

#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…

#300 Timeless Tri-X

Found an unscanned black and white Kodak TRI-X in a box yesterday. Scanned it and found some pictures that felt timeless. They are shot in my birth town Helsingborg in december 2021…but at the same time I felt like they could have been pictures from one of my first TRI-X rolls in the 1980:s.

#286 About a Picture

The cormorants are lined up and watching the ship on it´s way to Copenhagen. The sea is calm in the early morning. The next morning it may be a storm or freezing fog. The ship will pass and the cormorants will watch it. I only saw it this morning – but I can see it…

#285 A new part of town

Back in my birth town Helsingborg for a short visit. Woke up early and went for a walk along the sea. There is this new part of town called Oceanhamnen (The Ocean Port) that is built at an old part of the port of Helsingborg that was not used anymore. Some parts of the old…

#258 Coming home

It is always the same. No matter if it has been three days (as it was this time) or three weeks. When I take the ferry from Helsingør (Denmark), I get the shivers as we pass into the beautiful port of Helsingborg (Sweden). The trip may have been fantastic – but when we pass this…

#224 About a Picture

In my birth town Helsingborg there is this coffee shop / café that has always been there. The coffee grinders in the window has been running as long as I can remember. The thing is – I have never been inside, as I can remember. I didn’t go in this time either. But next time…

#188 The Strait between Sweden and Denmark

I grew up in a city by the ocean – Helsingborg. When you live by the ocean, your life is formed around it – without you knowing it. In the summer we took our bicycles to the beach. When there was a storm we went to the ocean to feel the power of the wind…

#133 The Sea

There is something special about the sea. Maybe it is because I have moved away from it? I lived in Helsingborg my first 25 years – a city also called ”The Pearl of the straight” (…at least by the locals). In 1997 I moved away from the sea – and I have missed it ever…

#133 Different Light

What a difference the time of day can do to a picture! I was for a short visit to my birth town Helsingborg, and had the luck of getting a room at the hotel with the most fantastic view of the sea. As I checked in to the hotel, the sun was setting and the…

#76 Ships

In Helsingborg – my birthplace – there is this old church that I walked by a thousand times. I think I have visited the church about five times all in all. Yesterday I walked by it again, turned back and went inside. The church – St Marys Church – is originally from the 12:th century….

#52 Like the past in the future

Helsingborg – Leica M240 and Zeiss 35/2,8 I was born in the Swedish city of Helsingborg in the 1970:s. I moved to Linköping – 350 km north – in 1997, but I have always returned a couple of times each year. There is something special about the place that you grew up in. It somehow…
