#265 The Accordion

When we least expect it, we can find our selves in situations we will remember for life. Things we will tell to our friends and smile to the memory. Such a thing happened to me today… A couple of weeks ago I put out an old accordion for sale. It once belonged to my wifes…

#264 Next chapter – the Leica M10

As I wrote in a prior post, my Leica MP240 has a little flaw. Nothing big – but it needed to go to Leica to get a minor repair. My plan was to try and find an M10, buy it, send my MP to Leica and then sell it as it comes back a couple…

#263 Tonight in Uppsala

Some shots from Uppsala this evening. Nice weather in a nice part of the city. Liked the colors of the buildings… There are a couple of these vaults in the buildings near the Cathedral. I can’t help my self from taking a frame or two every time I am here. Today I tried a slight…

#262 Colors in Stockholm

Work night in Stockholm. Went for a short evening walk in the blocks around my hotel. The small park ”Humlegården” was full of life. Nice to see so many people having a good time playing games, eating, walking, sightseeing and drinking (!). Colors were amazing in the park, with the setting sun behind the houses….

#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…

#256 Market Day

Today was market day in ”Old Linköping”. It was a really nice day and the market was full of people. The theme of the market was mainly plants – but there was a lot of other things as well… Handcraft is often seen at markets in ”Old Linköping”. The trees have got that light green…

#255 About a Picture

A lonley bicycle – probably stolen – has been standing against the wall at our small train station for a week or so. I liked the blue, black, silver and orange colors against the gray concret wall. The bicycle is a Swedish Mustang… Leica MP240 and Zeiss Biogon 2,8/35 ZM

#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…

#253 Late arrival

Finally it starts to show it self. Spring. Pretty late this year – isn’t it? Suppose it can be related to the climate changes of our world. I shot these pictures in Linköping yesterday with my trusty MP240 (even though it has a little flaw…). Love this part of the year…good thing I didn’t leave…

#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…

#250 About a Picture

We are often passing this small farm with sheep as we take walks near our home. I have posted pictures from here a couple of times on the blog. Today we passed again. In fact I had already passed the sheep when my wife said – ”look in the door – how cute :-)”. I…

#249 The west coast

Went to the west coast of Sweden over the day. A three hour trip by car. When I left home it was snowing, but as I came closer to the west coast the snow shifted to rain instead. It was a work trip – but as usual I found time for some photos at the…
