#318 Reinebringen

It is hard to go to Reine and not ”climb” Reinebringen – the 448m high peak right next to the village. Climb may not be the right word – more like ”take the stairs up”. A team of Sherpas built a stone stairway almost all the way to the top. An unbelievable achivement. Going up…

#317 Arriving to Reine in Lofoten

When you drive towards Reine you drive on the small E10 road, that curves around mountains and sometimes through long tunnels. Then suddenly – after the 1,5 km long ”Hamnøytunneln” – you are suddenly there. At first you arrive to the small Island of Hamnøy – and this is where everyone stopps to take photos….

#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…

#290 About a Picture

Minus 17 degrees celsius. The sun has just set and the mist almost hides the church in the nearby village. What a sight…

#278 Trees and Silhouettes

Couldn’t stop myself from photographing some silhouettes the other day. It was a a true silhouette evening – they were just waiting to be shot… Just minutes after I had to stop the car and point my camera towards the church in the small village next to our. The pictures could have been in color…

#272 Leica Hike

We have taken a couple of days off from work to hike in one of my favourite parts of Sweden; Österlen. Yesterday was a fantastic day – almost like summer. We started off with a 12 km hike around the ”Hills of Brösarp”. My Leica M10 is here for the first time and it is…

#260 Vacation in Sweden

We are spending our summer home in Sweden this year [as well]. Since covid struck the world, we have chosen to see our own country instead of going abroad. The more we see, the more we want to see. There are so many fantastic places that are more or less only a couple of hours…

#257 About a Picture

From a distance the island looked like a ghost island. As we got closer we saw what had happened. Cormorants. The trees were full of them. In a way it had become a ghost island. Leica M10 and Zeiss 2,8/35 ZM Biogon

#254 A guy with a camera

I have been thinking about what kind of a photographer I am. Do I even qualify to say that I am a photographer? Do I care about what genre of photography I spend my time shooting? Do I want to make a living of my photography? Here are some conclusions i have made…that ends up…

#251 Why I like Black and White

Finally a day when spring seems to be in sight. Took my camera, coffee and an egg-sandwich…and my wife…and drove to a nearby lake. In fact the second largest lake in Sweden – Lake Vättern. The exact spot; 58.6681886N, 14.9245707E I used my camera set to Black and White today. I was inspired by a…

#245 A 35mm lens

Started my day with an early morning walk around a small local lake today. I only met one person and he was on his way home. He had been there since before sunrise and photographed birds. He had an enormous lens on his camera – at least 500mm. Pointed at my camera and asked what…
