Dag 21 - Et Sekund i Livet


Det er min datter's fødselsdag i dag  - 17 år! Det er kun nogle måneder siden, at jeg holdt Camila i mine hænder, og hun kikkede på mig med de der "hej far, her er jeg" øjne. Og hun er "her" i den grad.

Huset er fyldt med teenage piger, der danser og synger. Vivi og jeg har sørget for god mad, snaks og lidt at drikke. Så de hygger sig gevaldigt.

Så hvorfor et foto af en mønt, der er fanget mit i sin rotation? Jeg synes dette foto symboliserer, at hvad vi gør og hvordan vi er, kaster skygger i fortiden, som vi enten er stolte af eller helst vil glemme. I dag tænker jeg over hvordan vi har opdraget vores datter (skyggen) og den person hun er i dag; og lige nu (det fastfryste øjeblik) er jeg en meget stolt far. Jer er overbevist om, at Camilla bliver en smuk og stærk kvinde, der vil komme til at sætte sit præg på verden.

Teknik: Igen en meget simpel opstilling: Et stykke hvidt papir, hvorpå jeg kaster lidt blødt lys fra højre (kontorlampe) og hårdt lys fra venstre fra en flash (SB-600). Mønten er dermed stoppet mit i sin rotation, hvilket skyggen også afslører (en hård kerne, men to lysere skygge på begge sider).

While visiting some our good friends Christina & Morten I had the opportunity to demonstrate some photo apps on my iPhone to nice person who still was unaware of all the bliss appearance on social media can bring you. The subject is the table cloth captured and post processed with the iPhone app "Camera+".

Two Paths - Day 64

Days are going by - time is flying - we are getting older - the world is moving. Tic Tac Tic Tac. My professional career has come to a halt and it's time to reflect about the possibilities that opens up in such a situation. It's been a month since I stopped at Strålfors and all days (and some nights) has been used to reflect upon this situation. I've chosen to follow the obvious path - find a new job - and all my network is being activated. But another path has slowly emerged - and to no ones surprise - this path evolves around photography. I'm not talking about becoming a photographer, but to become part of the industry. Tomorrow I'll fly to Stockholm to meet some interesting people who successfully has opened a photography museum in Stockholm - Fotografiska.eu - and I'm going to here about their project and journey. The photo that I shot this afternoon in the woods nearby my home symbolise the break from Strålfors and the two new paths that I've ch...

Press photographer has to face a lot of moral issues

Every year we hear about press photographers being killed while trying to capture a decisive photo and document the truth. They also have to face a bunch of moral issues while being close to death and people in need of help. In my opinion it is vital to capture a photo that can influence decisions on a large scale. But when faced with the choice of either keep taking pictures or trying to change the course of a situation by personal interaction (and maybe risk your own life), I can only imaging the moral issues a press photographer must deal with in a few decisive seconds.
