Cheers!
I visited the Christmas market in Västerhaninge today. Arranged by the homestead society Haninge Hembygdsgille. They served glögg (Mulled wine) and pepparkakor (Gingerbread cookies). Here you see me in the old Janstorp cottage with Anita Stjernstr...
At the market
I stopped at the Jordbro shopping mall today. A few times every year there is a flee market there in one of the corridors. You will find the usual items, old books, DVD's, mobile phone chargers, and some clothing. I didn't find anything I needed, bu...
Third time\'s the charm
This is Beki. I have met her twice before this year and asked her for a portrait, and today at Lake Rudan, she said yes, so it really pays to be persistent! She's a former rhetoric student at the university in Stockholm, so I'm very happy that I mana...

The girl in the red dress
My camera was working overtime at the car meet on Saturday. There were hundreds of classic cars to shoot. And as you can expect the place was filled with photographers. I had only just arrived when one of them walked up to me and introduced himself. ...
Greaser Girl
For the last sixteen years there has been a big Greaser meet at Vegabaren in Handen. It's a great event. Greasers arrive from all over Sweden. In classy cars and in really trashy rides. There's usually a few bands playing, and some really interesting...

Blue Eyed Girl
This is Jenny. I met her at Torvalla in Handen and decided to ask her for a portrait. She's got amazing blue eyes, so the t-shirt with the Manga girl looks extra good on her I think. Jenny works at Getupdated in Stockholm as a production assistant, b...

Under the shade of a tree
