ALL HANDS ON DECK!

Granddaughter Siri visited us yesterday and like any other child she stole the show.


At home in Stockholm

Exhibition

Yesterday my photo club hanged the exhibition that will start on Sunday and last for three weeks. It is called "The Red Line", meaning the subway line from Gamla stan in the centre to the farthest end Fruängen. The exhibition is held at Midsommargården at Telefonplan.

Nice result

Those who finished early discussed darkroom and printing techniques.

Street photography

Let me take you by the hand and lead you through the streets of Stockholm...
Yesterday I went into the center of Stockholm to do some street photography with my Rolleiflex. My path started at Centralbadet and was southbound. Ended up at a photographers meeting at Ellens bakery =)

Borgvik

Last sunday I made a trip with my parents to Borgvik in Värmland. It's a historical place for ancestors on both sides in my family and it is the place where I married my wife.

The mill

Bakers cabin

The bricks the houses are built of is made of slag from the mill and are shimmering in colours like deep emerald green to graphite grey. A fascinating architecture.

Coffee

I visited my parents for a few days. In the daily routines there is coffee twice a day at 10 AM and 4 PM and in addition to that a cup after lunch. And it's Swedish. Black and with coffein. A killer for americans and nutrition for swedes.
