Back to Stockholm

I’ve gotten used to big breakfasts when I get up in the mornings. Scrambled eggs, all kinds of bread, cheese, ham, fruits, coffee, etc…it’s all there. And I’ve been spoiled with a cleaned room and readymade bed every day when I get back from work. And with the spectacular view (pics below). But it’s still nice...

Touristing

It’s nice to have guest over every once in a while, ’cause you do stuff you normally don’t do. Like touristing in your own city and going to the Zoo. These two visited me a while and we spent Sunday at lovely Djurgården and Skansen. Here’s what Skansen looks like in miniature: We had a...

RAW vs. JPEG

As you know I’m still at the book fair in Gothenburg. And while I’m here, I’m liveblogging for an internal website, an intranet (meaning I can’t link to it, since it’s internal and you can’t log in). Anyway, liveblogging means several updates per day. That, plus the fact that I’m working with other stuff as...

Photography at the book fair

There’s not a lot of photography related stuff here. But some at least. Like PhoToHome (make your own photobooks), NEVA (photography books) and Svenska Fotografers Förbund (The Association of Swedish Professional Photographers), to mention some. In my opinion there should be more though, since digital photography is so popular these days. Hopefully I’ll find some...

Book Fair – day 1

Day one of the Gothenburg book fair 2009 is over, and it’s been a very good one. Lots and lots of exhibitors with thousands and thousands of books. Some more interesting than others, but all in all mostly good stuff. The themes of the year is Spain (Spanish litterature) and Finland (The Year to Mark...

Updates from Gothenburg Book Fair 2009

This week’s blogging won’t be too much photography or wedding related. There will be more of that in the coming weeks, I promise! The next couple of days (until Monday to be precise) I’ll be working at the Gothenburg Book Fair 2009. And posting pictures of what’s going on there. However, I will try to...

Train reading

Trains aren’t the most exciting places to be on. But it’s a good place to catch up on stuff you haven’t had time to do. Like reading. I’m writing this post on a train from Stockholm to Gothenburg, where I’ll be working at the Göteborg book fair for about a week. I’m looking forward to...

Busy days

Sorry for the lack of posts lately. I’ve been away on high school reunion this weekend, which was a lot of fun, but sorta intense. Travelling non-stop for some 30 hours is tuough, meaning I’m a bit tired at the moment. And tomorrow I’m off to Gothenburg for about a week. My blogging might be...

The 700, now a.k.a. Willy

In one of our many Facebook/Gmail chats, my friend Cole pointed out the fact that I haven’t named my precious camera yet (he named his ‘Black Velvet‘ the day he got it). I just call my camera the 700, and that’s not good enough. Of course my baby needs a real name. So what do...

Wedding album

Every time I get one of those package notifications in the mail, it’s like Christmas Eve all over again. I love to open the box, remove the plastic and see how my pictures look in print. It’s soooo much more fun than viewing them on a screen. And I’m a huge fan of albums, especially...

Wedding photographer champagne night

Remember how I said I’d write a separate post about all the talented wedding photographers in Sweden? Well, last night I had the opportunity of meeting many of them for a couple of glasses of bubbly and some networking in Stockholm. We met in the afternoon sun at the V4 restaurant on Södermalm. And it...

Twitter is the new black

Well, Twitter isn’t really new anymore and it’s been discussed to death in web circles. But I assume a lot of you still aren’t using it. Because you don’t want to, don’t need to or because you haven’t understood the benefits of it. If the latter is true, you might wanna look into it. Inspired...

Anytime portraits | Miss T | Part 1

Meet Miss T. She’s a great person and a very good friend of mine. And no, Miss T is not her real name. But I don’t think I ought to reveal her name – she’ll probably get way too many phone calls after this photo session. :-) We took a walk on the northern parts...

Money for nothing

I’ve been doing some weird stuff lately. Maybe it’s because I’m stressed about all things that need to be arranged before my journey. To exemplify, here’s a short story from last week: It was Wednesday. I’d been shooting a couple of Swedish celebrity artists at work, after which I had a grab’n’go lunch and left...

Wedding chirp

I’m shooting Jessica & Karl’s wedding day in Björkhagen and Södermalm October 10th. Looking forward to that. A little while ago I found out about Jessica’s wedding blog ‘Bröllopskvitter‘. She’s blogging (in Swedish) about their wedding preparations. What a great way to keep friends and family updated, as well as a perfect way to remember all...

The visa has arrived

I’m at a point in my life where I need something new. Something exciting. Like moving to another country. So after finishing my present work contract – October 31st – I’m packing my bags and catching a plane to North America and Canada. A one way ticket (almost – I’m flying back home for a...
